Are Mini-Macs Clusterable?

Sorry if the info is elsewhere.

1. if there is OSX clustering software

then yes. alternatively, one could install linux on them and do it that way.

2. what exactly do you mean, clusterable?

os x can do grid computing...

3. I'm also unsure what clustering is but...

but Xgrid is going to be built into the Tiger OS 10.4

(there's a beta version available now for 10.3)

There's also stuff like Pooch:

I'm sorry if that isn't what you were talking about.

4. No... not unless you want to use programs that can use Xgrid...

But I doubt that is the case, as you would not be using a Mac mini. (Correct me if I'm wrong, but you asking if you can combine two to act like a faster computer? No)
