I'm wondering if anyone knows of any info about networking two home computers to achieve multiprocessing results...
Basically, I'm wondering if its possible to use two obsolete computers to achieve performance that would normally come from a single modern unit.
I have a number of old 300 - 500 mhz computers, and I was thinking that if I could combine a couple of them, I could have a 1 to 2 ghz system, but I havent found any info online about software that can or will run on such a system.
Also, any info about networking computers using VERY inexpensive methods would be useful as well. Perhaps if anyone knows anything about netowrking over a standard parallel printer cable (yeah I know, parallel printers are obsolete too) I'd like to see that info.
Just general info about networking, multiprocessing and such applicable to older, somewhat out dated equipment would help to more or less degree.
Thanks
