Let me keep it simple. I am working in a company on a Software which has a built in auto marking system (Which needs a lot of computer resources). There are Many PCs in my department all with Windows 7 32-Bit and have almost same specs (Same Modal, RAM, Processor). They are connected by LAN Network with 100 Mbps speed. Now i want to make a cluster of computers so i can Run that software on that by utilizing maximum resources of all computers. Is there any special software for that?

I would recommend using a much faster switch. Because they are limited to 100mbps, you will see a low performance gain if any. Here is a link where there are instructions of how to setup a cluster with Windows. But I recommend getting at least a 1Gbps switch since the nodes will need to send data back and forth to each other. Of course, make sure that the computer's ethernet port supports 1Gbps.
