I have my own private server setup, albeit old pentium 3 units they each hold 1/2 gb ram and about 900mhz over 10units, each has 80gb hdds....they are outdated stock from a large company but are server modules,each preloaded with windows 2000 and various software I have no clue about....
I am wondering if I could make use of this old hardware to function as an external graphics decoder or something like that so I could play games (like fallout 4) on my older hardware. I have heard of cluster computing and am not sure how hard such a setup would be, though I have seen videos of making clusters of rasberry pi units and figure the process would be about the same especially as the units are identical... id like to know if there is any way to make this work before spending hours trying to confugure everything and only having a basic understanding of how to build the cluster itself not to mention the functionallity it could offer me...I have heard steam was getting ready to launch a service where the game was cloud processed...and my understanding of graphics cards is they typically offer many cores and ram which id plan to be replacing with nodes.... im sure this setup would be far from efficient hauling in apx 20kw/hr...im just trying to figure out first if it can be done and if so how hard would it be and what options may be best for this type of setup...
