Toss one of them

Seriously. Take the 32MB SIMM from one of them and put it in the other. The performance jump will be far more than you could hope to get from building a mini-cluster. If one of the cases has an open bay, you can even scavange the HD from the donor and set it up as a slave.

Heck with 64MB you should be able to run a GUI just fine even on a 486. Go for one of the lighter-weight ones, not Gnome or KDE.

Microsoft offers them the one thing most business people will pay any price for - the ability to say "we had no choice - everyone's doing it that way." -- [link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=38978|Andrew Grygus]
