Ok not sure if this is the right forum or not but move it if need be.

I own 3 laptops, All bought from a school for £25 as they were upgrading so naturally they are pretty terrible, If I can remember correct they have pentum 4, 2gb of ram and a 40gb HDD.
They work, Just about, For daily tasks but cant do anything more than having one browser window with 2 or 3 tabs open before it really starts to struggle.

So why im doing this?
Because I was in idiot and I got a case with big blue fans, Which I cant turn the lights off so I don't like leaving torrents and downloads going on overnight, Also the wireless sucks for now, So It gets sub par download speeds since I cant have a cable trailing all over my house at night but I could leave a stack of laptops right next to my router.

So I have asked my friend and he says it should be entirely possible, Since Its pretty similar to a server stack running one vm to get the power from the entire stack.

So I would like so of your guys help.
1. What os should I put on the laptops
2. How do I got about getting the vm to run across all 3 laptops
3. How do I get it to work simply!

Thanks for any help.

Also I know none of the above may make any sense to anyone but me, Im dyslexic and I try :D

(Also Im an aspiring Network admin currently studying in college so I figured this would be pretty useful too.
