oh a confidence inspiring statement...

anyhow....

theoretically you can do what you're proposing.  you, however, gave no
indication of the load on these boxes.  if either box is running above
~75% utilization, trying to combine them is not really going to provide
the desired results.  in the same way, you gave no indication of the
number of processes.  itty-bitty load but high-count process can bring
a box to it's knees real fast.

i think you mentioned 100bt?  in that size box, it's not going to buy
you anything...and may in fact perform worse than 10bt.

given everything, you might want to consider an a-class or small
k-class system.  if the plan is to keep running these boxes for awhile,
the newer hardware is a vastly better idea.     - d
