Using a 2nd PC

I am running FSX on a Pc that constantly returns 30fps. I also have a second pc that although not quite as good as the first one, still used to run FSX fine.

 

Question: Is there anyway I could use this 2nd pc to take some load off of the 1st pc?

 

Thanks for any suggestion.

Thanks to all who read my question.

 

I presume that there can be no use for a 'spare' PC then.

I have a second computer that I run, not so much to lessen the work load, but to use the computer for other chores as not to interrupt my flight to look up information. I use three programs to make the searching easier. First I have the computers on a Home-group. Also I have FSUIPC with the wide client. And the other program I use is Synergy, which allows me to use one keyboard and mouse for both computers.

Having a second computer won't take much of a load off FSX, but it will offload some things that consume CPU cycles and that will help FSX a bit.

 

I use a second PC for Little NavMap, AS016, Super Traffic Board and a couple other apps. Also as the previous poster mentioned it great for looking at airport diagrams, approach plates, etc.
