Cluster 2 PC's?

I obtained a couple more pc's.

Assuming that I get them working, how do I cluster them, so they act as one super PC?

Anyone know of some good links?

The links I found mostly talk about Linux-I want XP.

Once, I had a link where this guy hooked up like 6 pc's together--of course I can't find it.

That would be fun, but think for a true cluster you need special hardware and special software. But guess there's different types you can make.

Yeah

If I remember from that posting on it I saw, the 6 pc's acted as one.

So you could, in theory, make your own Big Blue.

It was not a 'network', it was as one super dupper pc would be.

I did find a program that allows you to take an old pc & hook it up to give you dual monitor capabilities with out buying more video hardware.

That's cool too
