Q: Can I connect two MacPros  to increase processing power?

I've got two MacPros now (a 1,1 and a 3,1) and am wondering if I can combine them so that I get more processing power for rendering video/motion graphics. The 3,1 has a 1Gb  ATI Radeon HD 4870 GPU (PC version I flashed and works flawlessly) and the 1,1 has the old 3,1's GPU ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256 Mb. I've also got a Radion 521MB MP upgrade card (not certain about the exact model as it's not installed and doesn't say on the card, though it does work in both machines). 

 

If I can combine them, how much would it help and how would I do it (ethernet cable?)?

Thanks

Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3), 3,1 2.8 GHz 1Gb Radeon HD 4870
