link computers together

i have a few old computer with like 33 mhz, 130 mhz, and 66 mhz. i was wondering if there was a way to link several computers together to form one computer. i heard somewhere that u can use the parallel to link two computers together. but can someone please verify this and tell me how to do it?

 

you mean like a beowulf setup. have fun reading: http://www.phy.duke.edu/~rgb/Beowulf/beowulf_book/beowulf_book/index.html

i personally don't think it's worth it, but hey, you learn something from this

 

you can either set up a network to link the computers or use a paralel cable. oyu can get some paralel cabels with one port to two ports. this will allow you to send and access data on the other computers. a netowrk is a more expensive way to connect computers together but you can connect more computers.

 

i heard of the parallel port idea before, i found it on this website, http://www.melbpc.org.au/pcupdate/9410/9410article6.htm
i already have a network setup, but i was wondering if there was a way to take two computer, and mesh them together to make another. like make the memory, the proc speeds the ram, and the vid card add up to make one,. is this possible through the parallel port, if not is there another way to do this?

 

that's some interesting stuff strogg ... i had read somewhere that some japanese did something like that and it was basically a bunch of strung together p4s and it was supposed to be the most powerful computer in the world second only to this huge machine we(americans) built to calculate atomic bomb damage or something .. been a long time since i read the article
