Is there any way to link up two computers so that they can share resources, such as RAM or a graphic

My primary computer has broken, and none of the other computers in my house have, by themselves, sufficent resources to run certain programs. However, between two of them, the combined resources exist. Is there some way I can use them in tandem, bearing in mind that scavenging parts from one to upgrade the other is not a valid option? Thanks in advance.

Not meant in any offense, but it is because you are so naive that I encourage you to try. If you knew what I knew, you would not attempt it without the aid of some very deep pockets and a solid business plan...

BTW, you better get started learning MPI and PVM:

gathering more information on the computer cluster and I have determined that you can build a Poor Mans mini-supercomputer for less than $10,000. via the BEOWULF ... Mini-supercomputer Cluster.You will need a switch that can do Gigabit ethernet - add about $1K for a managed one, which I highly recommend. I would also add a good KVM switch. The Tripplite that I use is about $300, but only supports eight nodes. Plus you need to spend about $15 - $20 per cable set each.

***If your still interested in supercomputing ? the last link is where to start...

but cost to benefit says if your running low cost machines to start with? jsut upgrade to a cheap p4 for 3 or 400$ at someplace like Http://www.tigerdirect.com
