I AM BACK WITH ALL THE ANSWERS
Guys its a futuristic problem
i guess u should analize last 20 years of technologies u ll come to know.
Not only will it speed up the system but also reduce the work effort.
and if u have more problems u should visit the site mentioned above it will give u a great deal of information about gride technology
thanX to 3RA1N1AC for mentioning the site its a lot helpful

do you think our current machine will be a pos as soon as the new technology arrive?

Not as soon as it arrives but it'll take a barely three years from now
and then it will become disposable because u can no longer upgrade it.
DONT focus on DISPOSAL FACTOR just focus on UPGRADING factor

lol well my machines awesome for now

not for long and what if u need to process a large chunks of data and by the way How much time does it take to encode a movie from 1 formate to another? (a lot)
say 2 three hours, dont u think combined effort can make it faster
I am not talking about only home PC users but also other section of users who require a great deal of processing
for more information u can click the site OR search for gride technology
i GOT my answers the PURPOSE fulfilled


Well thanks anywaY

just to elaborate on this a little, cluster and @home style computing (like SETI@home) has been around for a long time, it's a "now" thing, and it's sort of limited in the scope of what it can achieve.

on the other hand, grid computing is very much a futuristic concept, like milosummer mentioned. the idea is that individual computers, each doing different things, share a common pool of data and CPU cycles so that each computer isn't limited merely to the speed of its local CPU-- when it needs work to be done, the work is done by CPUs in remote locations. the implications are awe-inspiring, if you consider that this could someday be the kind of system that all computers operate (and cooperate) under.
