Why are you posting this here? I looked at your first post and was
going to mark it as spam but then thought perhaps you were asking a
question about using Windows XP for cluster computing. This second
post confirms that you are not asking a question about the Windows
XP operating system and are therefore posting in the wrong place.

I still think it's spam, but maybe you just didn't know any better.
If you are really trying to find out information about cluster
computer, use Google.

Stop picking on me you bully, go chase some of the
regular spammers.

Often at computer auctions there are lots that are
superceeded desktops, and even other machines,
almost in SuperComputer class being sold as-is.

Would second hand SuperComputers be useful for
home users, what OS can you load on them besides
Windows CCS2003, can they run XP Pro x64 or Vista
x64. They usually have powerful Unix or Linux Server
software on them.

Word is that Windows Servers are crap, they need to be
nursed, as they are very unstable, and crash a lot.

I now understand that on machines like Tyan Typhoon
PSC (B2881) cluster servers running Unix or Linux you
should not try to run desktop OS's like XP or Vista.

Could such machines be used to run a 24/7 video
streaming server, streaming in Real, QT or Flash
(subject to Adobe rights) say instead of WMV, for a
home user, and confirm that Windows OS software on
those machines is useless.

It was just a suggestion to use discarded computers
from council clean up day, as they only go to land fill,
that's an enviromental spam message that MS does not
want on its newsgroup, tuff.
