All you need to do is run out to CompUSA or go online and purchase a KVM switch. Basically, this will allow you to hook up a mouse, keyboard and monitor to two different machines. Most of the units have a button on the front which will switch from one system to the other, and in most cases you can just press the Ctrl+Alt keys to switch. Here is a link to the type I use (but I use mine to connect 4 systems, you'll only need the one that connects 2 systems).

Good Luck.

∙ 11y agoIf you mean, how do you use one computer to contact another:
Remote desktop software allows you to remotely control one PC from another, or show your PC screen to someone else.
The software is mostly used for remote support and training purposes.
However, this has NOTHING to do with your question about combining computing power of two separate central-processing units.

∙ 11y agoLinking computers to operate together is called a cluster. There are a few different types of clusters but in the case of a normal user using a couple of home computers it would be a loosely coupled setup. There are a few ways to do this but unless you are doing something such as music production or graphics rendering etc there is no real gain for the average user. The gains are in any aspects of rendering. Such as running a simulation or rendering large graphic set ups.

Windows XP has a feature called "Remote Desktop Connection" (it's in the Accessories menu) which does much the same thing.

Why do computers use 2s not 10s?
Computers are only capable of differentiating between two possible states. That is: a switch is either on or off; a capacitor is either full of charge or it is empty; a score upon an optical disc is either long or short; there is either a flux transition or there is not; there is either a hole punched at a position on a card or there is not. All are valid ways of representing binary values and all are or have been used by computers at one time or another. We use 1s and 0s, but computers cannot; they are simple machines, they have no actual intelligence whatsoever. They have to use mechanic representations.
