Hi all,

can I create a database and put the MDF file on other CPU ?

That would be highly not recommended. You add in network contention and usage into the mix of your database servers performance. I'm not really sure why you would even want to do that.

By default you can not create databases on mapped or UNC network location. If you insist on this course of action you would have to start SQL Server with trace flag 1807. But as onpnt has already pointed out, it's a very bad idea.
