Question can I use the same XP OS on my second PC?

I'm planning to build a second PC and have it right next to the one I have now with seperate monitors.

I want to use 2 computers, synced together, to share cpu power for a music studio setup.

Do I need to buy a second copy of XP home oem? or can I just load the one I already have?


thanks

Yes you absolutely must buy another copy of the OS or an additional license (which should probably run you about the same cost anyway). Your current copy of XP is license for ONE machine only.


HTH
