RE: cluster software

A real clustering newbie question....

Would a cluster of several PCs using Pentium processors running
apache/tomcat be equivalent in throughput a single PC with a Pentium III or
IV processor running apache/tomcat as a web server serving JSPs and running
Java code?

Just curious as I have some old Pentium and Pentium IIs that are ready for
the junk pile.

Thanks!

I think you might find the OpenMosix project a little better suited to
modern clustering. It's late and I have to sleep so I can't expand, but
take a look at it.
