Is it true you can hook-up multiple computers to make a SuperComputer?

I herd of this on a TV show. Don't ask because I don't know. But I think it could have been CSI Miami... But anyway, is this possible to actually combine multiple computers and make it attach to one screen and one and one keyboard and one mouse? That would be great.
 
Yes, but it wouldnt make it a super computer. It just allows you to be able to switch from one computer to another and still use the same screen and keyboard.
 
i think what you might be meaning is like a linux cluster? google it and you can find out how to connect multiple computers together to work together.

You may want to Google it first. The definition as follows: [FONT=arial, helvetica]KVM switch [/FONT][FONT=arial,helvetica]Last modified: Wednesday, September 10, 2003 [/FONT] Short for keyboard, video, mouse switch, a hardware device that enables a single keyboard, video monitor and mouse to control more than one computer one at a time. KVM switches are popular among users who have upgraded their home PC systems and want to still use their old computers but do not want to invest in a second keyboard, monitor and mouse. KVM switches are also used by business to save money when one person uses more than one computer and in server farms where it is only necessary to periodically access each separate server in the farm one at a time.
