Daisy chaining Mac Mini's

I'm interested in chaining together multiple Mac Mini's together. I believe I can do this by using the firewire port on each mini. I heard you can increase the computing power exponentially, among other benifits... Any ideas?

I don't know about FireWire, but I know you've been able to cluster Macs for greater processing power for quite a while. This clustered power only applies to specially written applications, however.

You may find both of these useful:
