I think perhaps the point here is that it is done all the time by big corporations for research when needing the number crunching ability, but for us home users, it's probably not worth the effort, unless you have lots of time on your hands with nothing better to do.

Maybe that should be in windows 2004, distibuted computing across a LAN. Maybe you could norton utilites up about that.

I have a 486 with 8MB ram sitting in the corner gathering dust, maybe it can help get me an extra 2FPS in Quake3-UT2!
