Slaving A Processor to my Powerbook
Hey Guys
I already have a 1.5Ghz 17" Powerbook. This is already a fairly powerful machine. But as I do a lot of work with The Apple Production Suite and Maya I am running low on my 80gb hard drive and am also pushing my processor fairly far although it does do extremely well considering some of the things I ask it do, I was just wondering if there was anyway to say connect one of those new mac minis and slave its processor to my powerbook for some extra processing kick. Aswell as having another 80Gb hard drive space to play with. If this is possible I would be very grateful if someone could tell me how to do it. The mac mini is an object of desire anyway but would also be an affordable option for some extra power. Any help isgreatly appreciated or alternatives welcome. Thank you

It basically allows you to create a small supercomputer from as many macs as you want.
The link for those who are interested is

acg is apples Advanced Computations Group
However if someone could instruct me on how I might slave the display of my powerbook to a mac mini it would be appreciated
