GermanNounComputers
From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A computer is a programmable machine that receives input, stores and manipulates data, and provides output in a useful format. Although mechanical examples of computers have existed through much of recorded human history, the first electronic computers were developed in the mid-20th century (1940–1945). These were the size of a large room, consuming as much power as several hundred modern personal computers (PCs). Modern computers based on integrated circuits are millions to billions of times more capable than the early machines, and occupy a fraction of the space. Simple computers are small enough to fit into small pocket devices, and can be powered by a small battery. Personal computers in their various forms are icons of the Information Age and are what most people think of as "computers". The embedded computers found in many devices from MP3 players to fighter aircraft and from toys to industrial robots are however the most numerous. The ability to store and execute lists of instructions called programs makes computers extremely versatile, distinguishing them from calculators. The Church–Turing thesis is a mathematical statement of this versatility: any computer with a certain minimum capability is, in principle, capable of performing the same tasks that any other computer can perform. Therefore computers ranging from a netbook to a supercomputer are all able to perform the same computational tasks, given enough time and storage capacity. From Wikipedia under the

Q. I only have one processor slot on my motherboard, but I have another computer that is basically stripped of everything useful (DVD drives, ram, etc, etc). All that is left is the hard drive, motherboard and processor, power and the fans. I want to use this computer to share workload with my main desktop. I know I can't connect the motherboards or processors (Pentium 4s), but I know it is possible to connect the computers somehow.

You can either cluster two whole computers together or you can use specific hardware (motherboards with multiple CPU slots etc). Unfortunately you can't just bolt bits of your old computer together.

Computers take many forms, from early room-sized complexes to modern personal computers (PCs) and personal digital assistants (PDAs) to tiny embedded systems that add sophisticated capabilities to other devices like toys and appliances.
