Grid computing with Linux, Game engines

If you have several old PCs lying around, you could turn them into a grid, a single computer that uses all their resources together.
I haven’t found a good use for a grid personally, but I found a nice piece software to setup a SSI (Single System Image, basically means one OS running on multiple machines) grid, and a nice tutorial.
If I had a grid running MySQL, the 35 million row DB table I use would probably search pretty fast.
In other news, Panda3D (a game engine, usable from C++ or Python) looks like it has excellent documentation, something that a lot of engines are lacking. I’m also wondering if I should buy a Mac now that Snow Leopard is out (that’s when I said I’d buy one)… I wonder if I’d really use the Mac applications…
