Subject: A funny clustering idea

Author: Kim Roper Jensen

Hi

I was just reading slashdot and saw something the Linksys WRT54G, after having a
closer look it actually is a MIPS processor at 200MHz in the recent routers,
that is with 32MB ram.

So now I got a silly idea, how about using ordinary consumer appliances for
clustering ??

I mean the Linksys router isnt too expensive, and the speed isnt totally
hopeless.

So if we put lets say 50-100 on a switch( Actually it should be possible to use
both the WAN and LAN ports for communicating) what kind of performance could we
expect ??
