Does anyone know how to link two computers together to make a super computer?

The technology is called clustering.\n\nHere's a good page for general information regarding clustering for both computational and high availability purposes:  http://lcic.org/\n\nQuick and easy way to build your own cluster: http://idea.uab.es/mcreel/ParallelKnoppix/\n\nCreative use of clustering: http://www.accrc.org/cluster/

Supercomputer? That term is a bit outdated.\nFollow this link and you should be able to find everything you need.

Get a USB Cross-directional cable. Hook it up to a USB port on both computers. Then find some software to aid in transferring.

You have to be more specific when you're asking this question. What do you want to hook up???  Whats the purpose of hooking it up??? Is gaming involved??? INternet???\nWhat OSs are involved?\n\nIf you want both computers to link up, but limited to (eg. transfer files..)  you can use a number of methods:\n\nONe is the serial cable method. \nAnother is the parallel cable method. \n( for these two, you need to configure windows for direct connection. OR you can use a third party software such as "laplink" to connect )\n\nIf both laptops have network capability, try hooking them up via LAN, or use a Crossover Cable from port to port. \n\nLike i said, this involves a number of methods, you have to know what type of task needs to be performed.\n\nGlad to help.

You can use what is called a KVM switch.  It allows you to use one keyboard, one mouse and one monitor with 2 PCs.\n\niogear makes some great products.

1. get a switch\n2. get some straight UTP cables (as many as the computers you want to have in your network). The cables can be up to 100 meters long. \n3. make sure all your computers have network cards\n4. connect the computers to the switch using the cables\n5. power the switch\n6. configure the ip addressess your computers. Use 192.168.1.1 for the first computer, 192.168.1.2 for the second and so on. configure the subnet masks as 255.255.255.0\n7. Make sure all your computers are in the same workgroup.\n8. have fun sharing :D

From easiest to hardest\n\n1.- USB thumb drive (you said ur old computer probably doesnt have one)\n2.- burn a cd\n3.- get both computers on the same network, and share the directory where the files are\n4.- use an ethernet cable (twisted pair)

1. Buy a 16 port switch (you could buy a 12 port switch but you should always have a few spare ports...you never know when you need them). Connect the computers to the switch using straight UTP cables. Assign IP addresses from the same network class to the computers. \n2. You could build a wireless network, but it's more expensive buying wireless cards than a switch and the transfer rate is lower

u can connect 2 computers with out using any hardware only juss a small cable only. called "crossover cable" u can make it in home if u had a hardware knowledg.\nor else contact u r nearst system dealer.\n\nthis cable is connects the 2 systems using lan card.

why yes there is. People are thinking tooo locally. \n\nOn the same motherboard there is no way they can work togeather.  HOWEVER!!! if you have an intel pc and an AMD pc you can use a cluster program to create a computer cluster which is essentially the same as the chips being in the main node of the cluster the only difference is rather then being on one board connected by cirutry they are on two boards connected by ethernet or firewire cables or fiberoptic. \n\nNote i said ethernet firewire or fiber DO NOT try using wireless it will not have the through put you need. Even ethernet is going to be a little slow unless your usning gigabit ethernet

If you are using Windows XP, then you can enable ICS, (Internet Connection Sharing) and you won't have to purchase any hardware. You may need additional cable to attach the other computers to the one with the internet connection. This link provides info on how to enable ICS.\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/networking/expert/crawford_02july01.mspx

the easiest way would be to network the 2 together with a router if you have one and transfer the files straight from one to the other.\n\nYou can also do the Removable media thing as stated above ie: CD, floppy etc.\n\nand lastly, you can email em to yourself or I like to icq or msn messenger them as well.\n\nany of those should do ya just fine..*S*

u could great a network if both machines have network cards and booth running windows xp and u would just need a crossover cable. \nand below is the guide.\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/networking/default.mspx\n\nor if the main pc has a dvd writer u can burn it all to 1 dvd disk\nor use the pen drive between.

just go to the nearest computer store or Radio Shack and ask for crossover cable to connect to computers together, Thay'll know what you talkin about. You don't need to spend alot for a brand-name like Belkin. Also, it's are pretty easy to make it yourself.

hello friend,\nits very simple to connect these\n1.config ur cd room setting to the primary master and connect it to the cable.this cable must be conected to the master connector on mother board \n2.config ur hard drive to the secondary master and connect it to the same cable parrallel with cd drive (cd drive and hard drive will connect to the same cable)\n3.config ur cd burner(cd writer)to primary slave and connect it the 2nd cable wich must be connected to the slave connector on mother board\nafter carefull connections have been made restart ur computer and go the bios setting.\nslect AUTO DETECT or some thing simmilar to it from the manu and accept changes ur computer will save the changes u made and now ur computer is ready for use\nNOTE:if u dont know how to config ur devices u can see a diagram on back of every device it will help u.\nNOTE:u can add one more device like an other hard drive to ur computer by connecting it to the remaining connector of 2nd cable it must be config to secondary slave

yes you can use a ethernet wire to connect the two computers, and then run the windows application to make one run from another.

Your question doesn't have a simple answer; however, if you don't need two computers, the easiest thing to do would be to transplant the HD from the slower machine into the better one.  This way, you'll have both drives available in the same computer, with a minimum of muss 'n fuss :)
