Is it possible to connect two computers together to make sort of a "super-computer" or something like that?

You could connect 2 HDs thru raid to double your bandwidth
could run dual-processors on a mb built for it
could also transfer ram from one pc onto another
but...
I doubt you could connect 2 PCs and make them run as one...

Are you sure? I once saw someone connect two computers with an IDE cable, mobo to mobo....

IDE cable? those are only for drives. I highly doubt it, or else we'd be seeing these "super computers" take no.1 on the futuremark orb.

You could make a Beowulf cluster, not sure how you would go about doing that though.

Just some info I dug up about Beowulf clusters.If your a Linux administrator you could probably put a supercomputer together using Beowulf.It is interesting that they use Raid mirroring throughout these systems and Intel Xeon and AMD MP processors as well.A raid array on my home computer is as close as I'll get.
