Hi,

I happen to have 3 or 4 Motherboards with CPUs lying around (all same brand and configuration). I am planning to buy/build a new machine. I was wondering if it is possible to use these motherboards to build a single machine. Does anybody have any idea as to how i might be able to do it (if at all possible).

What i have in mind is to use the 4 boards/cpu with other components such that all CPUs are used (some kind of parallel computing?). I plan to put SMP Linux on the machine.

any help is appreciated.

thanks,
VL

Welcome to the PC Guide forums!

Go to www.mini-itx.com/ and scroll down about 2/3 of the page. Check out the The "Mini-Cluster" dated Feb 25. That should give you some ideas. ;)
