But is it possible to get collective output of n number of PCs ? For example: If my server requirement is 3 GB RAM and 3 Ghz CPU. Then instead of bying one server of that much capacity, can I use 3 i386/586 PCs each of 1 GB RAM and 1 Ghz CPU ?
No. You have to be able to partition your tasks that way, which works only in certain cases. Google has clusters designed to serve it's specific needs, as opposed to what you want to do.
You would probably be better served by using a mixture of local and remote X clients, with the remote clients distributed across a few boxes.
