GTO Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 I have a HP intel notebook with vista and a desktop with xp. I was wondering if anyone could give me more info about clustering these two machines and wether or not it would improve the gaming performance. I cant find two many articles on the web. Please point me in the right direction.thanx Grant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizban2 Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 the only MS operating systems that can cluster are server class OS's (2000 and 2003) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clustering is good if you have a task that lends itself to a distributed effort. Examples might be anything with heavy computational load. Finding Prime Numbers, Hacking encryption keys, calculating the effects of a nuclear blast at the atomic level, Aggregating terrabytes of data, Serving a search index for a search engine. These are all things where a cluster is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
