HI,
can some walk me through on networking. i have 5 mother boards and i want to connect all 5 of them. it is possible right. what are my tools that i'm going to need? i want to connect all four boards and the last will be the main board! is that possible? i'm not going to build and new pc, but i will lay all 5 mother on any design i can come up with.

i.e.
1) 2 boards + 2 boards (connected)
2) 4 boards connecting 1 (acting as main) to all four boards.

can this be done? i think i'm going to need all the help i can get!

Are you talking about 5 computers?
If this is the case you will need 5 network cards, 5 patch cords and 1 HUB or Switch.
If you are talking about building one PC with 5 motherboards inside, you can't!

First, what are you thinking to get after "connecting" the five motherboards? why are you saing motherboards and not PC?s? If you are trying to make a super PC from 5 motherboards I dont think it is possible, but if you are trying to share files andconnect 5 PCs on a little network between them, the first answer is good for you.
