No because there is no video input at all on a powerbook , and definitely no way of making it share it's CPU loads, unless you want to set up a network between them and use a program to make them render collectively for that one program.

You can't do it directly, you need to have both computers on the same LAN and use specific software. Assuming you're using MAC, you should look for "ScreenRecycler" Another solution would be "Synergy".

You would need a VGA wire that allows you to connect more than one monitor output at once. Like the adapters that allow you to connect to a projector.

In order to use power book as a second display you will first need to have one of the other Microsoft problems running. Once one of these is running everything should be fine.
