Ehhh... thats way more trouble than it's worth, even the cheapest of desktops would be much better than what you have now. I would save up some "fun" money and upgrade to something nice, maybe a lenovo, hp or dell. You can probably get one for around $300 if your on a really low budget, but you'd have to settle with something like an emachine... Or you could get a better brand like lenovo for $400. And check on some place like ebay, amazon or craigslist for a good deal, like i said, anything would be better than either of your current pc's.

Read on about clustering and grid computing on Wikipedia or google. Just searching "clustering with windows" gives some useful results. But as the guy above you said, maybe you should just get a new computer. I've gotten my 1GHz 1Gb ram netbook for 250 in American money.
