    Pocket PC Cluster ?

    ROFL .... absolute waste of time I would say ....

    A couple of years back there was this PCI card someone made, where you could put upto 8-12 pocket PC processors (Intel StrongArm I think) .... and in Linux use it for distributed computing. That would be more useful. But the card with 8 processors cost $1750 or something, much more simpler and better performance to get another dual cpu machine.
