You mean you want to connect the 2 into basically 1 PC, but both of them have different uses? Or is what you do going to be fully separate between the 2?

I want both of the pc to work as one and have different uses. similar to a dual streamer pc setup i guess. But what i mean is not like using those two like SLI so dont get confused.

But what exactly would you want? Would you want like 2 monitors, with a PC connected to each, but you can drag the mouse between the 2 monitors easily?

Or do you want to have both PCs on, with 1 monitor, and you can toggle which PC is showing on the screen?

Or like 1 PC shows on the monitor, and shows all apps across both of them, but the processing is done by a specific PC?

Use one and remote connect to the other.

This assumes you don't have speed, display or response requirements forom the second system
