I could proly do that with my comps now.
I have win serv 2003 here on this one, and their is an option called cluster configuration

Not really... Wrong type of clustering. Windows 2003 Clustering

This disscussion is about HPC (high performance computing). Windows 2003 Server allows for "clustering of services" and distributed filesystems.

If you want to look at the very first forray into Microsoft HPC you can look at this Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003

Windows is not really efficient at clustered computing. I would use Linux for that purpose, because there you can compile programs with optimizations for that, and there are lots of efficient kernel patches. No serious scientist would use Windows; not only at clustered computing, but at computing at all.

Hey, this is a desktop comp you know
The only reason i have win serv 2003 is because its lighter on my hardware.

Windows is not efficient at anything.
Unless you count in security errors.
Its realy efficient at creating those.

It's not really creating them. It works(TM) as follows: a usual Windows(TM) installation has 12827 slots for 16777216 different problem(TM)s. So you have 12827 problem(TM)s activated all the time. Now if you have a problem(TM) and you don't like it, the Microsoft(TM) way of fixing it is to replace(TM) it by another problem(TM). Actually this is what Service Pack(TM)s do for 1337(TM) problem(TM)s simultaneously.

Now you might ask: Why exactly those numbers?! It's easy: Microsoft(TM) is 1337(TM), so they like powers of 2 and products of two prime numbers (though they don't even know what primes are).

The only reason i have win serv 2003 is because its lighter on my hardware.

Linux can be as light as you need it to be. But, no, I won't blame you for using Windows on a desktop. Just don't try to use a pony when you want a workhorse.

My friend made a super computer. He had 3 PCs and connected it all to one. Pretty nice job was made!

Can we get any pics of yours supercomputers. I'm very interested of making one.

i recently got told by a mate how to make a "super computer" but he didnt explain very well i was wondering if anyone could direct me to a website or something to explain (in linux newbie) terms how to do this.
and do you believe that old p1's and p2's are capable of makeing a "super computer":roll:

cheers

Well i have a 4gig super computer that i have modifyed from a Alian Ware Gaming model never lagg or anything super fast ect.
