I would like to use a set of networked computers to work out some processes which would normally take long to do on one. I figured that it might be done faster with networked PCs.

These PCs are all using Intel based processors (though if I can do it with other architectures, it would be better). Also they are all running windows (though again, it would be better if it can be done on different OSs, these are since I do have another PC with linux on it).

I have searched however all the results say is that it's possible, but not how. I don't mind if it's complicated, at least I'll know how.

These PCs can be networked using a Wired LAN or Wireless LAN, probably with both though.

Also, I am aware that there is another question like this, however I feel the answer lacked what I was looking for.

EDIT: To clarify, I would like to know if there is a program (preferably windows though now linux works too) to combine the processing power of my computers so that long processes can be split between them to be worked in parallel.

Due to the fact you will not tell us what software you are trying to run the best answer we can give you is: You can't do what you want to do unless the software you are using has that feature built in to it already.

If you would be willing to tell us what software you are trying to use we could tell you if the software supports distributed computing and how to use it.
