I’ve been doing some reading, and I’ve learned about this software built into Mac OSX that allows for "daisy-chaining" multiple Macs together over a network that can process split-up tasks for a control computer.

I was wondering if anyone here had any experience using this because I’ve got three of the old clear and blue powermac G3s that I’d love to hook together to make my old powerbook g4 actually able to process more than five tracks in logic. I would use my macbook pro, but that’s partitioned to run windows at the moment as I dont own any PCs.

I think its possible. u can combine multiple Macs in ‘Master/ slave’ configurations to combine processing power.
I never owned more than 1 at a time but u can contact apple support or finger through
the manuals to learn how its done.
Clever little toys that they are
