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

Clustering computers with current game development wouldn't help you. The latency involved with clustered computing isn't condusive to gaming. 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.
