In essence, I am wondering how you can use multiple older ppc computers to make 
things happen faster?

I have occasion to run unix based programs via X11 at work. I am not a 
knowledgeable unix person but actually OSX is educating me in that direction. 
It's possible for me to use "ssh" to connect to a remote computer (CentOS) and 
run an application which opens a window on my screen. As I understand it, that 
means that that application is actually running on the remote cpu, not my local 
mac. My mac is only working as a X-Window server.

So I was wondering if it was possible to run the applications that we normally 
run on a mac, in X11? In other words can I run Safari on one mac, Excel on 
another, while watching a DVD on another, by connecting to these cpu remotely 
using x windows? Or does this only work with special x windows programs?
