i have 3 main computers and a server:
-P4C @ 2800
-CeleronD @ 3200
-Celeron @ 1466
-Celeron 900 (server)

im wondering wether theres any software that will offload any tasks across the network to the other computers to assist and speed up tasks or anything? get some extra performance using them?

Clustering is mainly for large processing tasks like rendering, number crunching, etc. You "could" cluster those but if you arn't doing huge processing tasks regularly why bother?
Rendering apps (like softimage) have clustering features built in. I believe you can make an actual windows cluster if you have a win2k3 server and xp clients.

I beleive(if I rember correctly , it was the cas with Win 2k), you need a higher than just the plain win2k3 server to do clustering.
I beleive you needed win2k Datacenter server to have clustering capabilities.
I dont think all the server had to run datacenter thought
