I am looking for a simple utility that will let me cluster 16 PIII 500's 
for rendering. They have win98 and can not be changed. I am looking for a 
way to use them for rendering with out any interface showing up on the 
screen of the slave computers. The computers are used for other reason and 
must be available for use with out interuption. But the computers are big 
enough they should be able to render in the background with ease. I will 
not be able to program anything.

Thanks

Lavender Smith

I've heard about pvmpov ... unfortunately I don't know if there is a
version for Microsoft OS.
I have not any official site in mind but at least this one could help
you find something ...
