Heh, I wouldn't mind just knowing what exactly a 'Windows 2000 Cluster' even it? I know of cluster-size, but that's about it, heh.

What sorts of things can a person do with a Windows 2000 Cluster?

think of large scale rendering, number crunching, analyzing results, (i.e. basically anything a supercomputer does)
 
Clustering can also be used to provide synchronization and redundancy for services, such as web and COM+ applications, network infrastructure, mail, client server applications and other functions.

LOL, did you copy and paste that from the Microsoft website? Hahaha.

So, could I say, use a Cluster to run Folding@Home?

you could, but you wouldn't see any performance increase. if anything, if you ran f@h on a cluster like that, you would lose performance because one computer is being used as the "master" to tell each of the slaves what to do. they would do work units slower individually, but they would do more at once so it would even itself out... it would be too much more of a hassle if you ask me to cluster them if you are just going to fold...
