Running 2 separate computers for 1 DAW

[ApolloSpeed]

Ok, I just replaced my old computer for a new Intel Core 2 Duo computer.....and was thinking about what to do with my old computer (duel core AMD).

I remember somebody talking about a program or something that would link 2 computers together to help run more plug-ins and stuff in your DAW (im using audition 2.0 w/ 2 Firepods).
I'm just wanting to get more info on this and how to setup if possible?

You can link 6 computers together via TCP/IP in SawStudio.....

It was me, its a vst networking app called F/X Teleport it allows you to set one machine as a host and another as a slave. You just make sure you have the same plugins installed on both machines install f/x teleport on each machine and specify wich machine is the master and wich is the slave and thats pretty much it, When go to insert a plugin on your host machine you can choose local or lan vst. it kiks major ballz

of course you have to have your machines connected via network

is there not a cheaper software? Or perhaps a shareware/freeware? I'm a tightwad

Never had the need. However, I know guys who do scoring/foley jobs for films that use more than one machine.
