    Got a new computer today but I have some problem with the Distributed Network Audio Processing with Windows PCs....
    The computer I got is a powerful calculating server. But due to the slots on server motherboard, I can't install a DualView Display Adapter on it. So I decide to use Distributed Processing to extend my studio's processing power on audio projects.
    I know Logic on Mac have the Logic Node technology to let the distributed processing become true, but is there any technologies on Windows PC can complete this? Although VST System Link is a good idea but add another audio interface on the server is not a good idea for me. Can't we complete the distributed processing only with network?
    So anyone here have the experience in creating and using a network-based distributed processing environment? Any advice on my configurations?

    Thanks!
