Not holding my breath on this one, but...
Is it practical to link multiple units (in my case, up to 4, T23s) to prevent video lag on sites like Uverse? Was attempting to watch a free episode the other day and the lag was bad, checked the TM performance to find the CPU maxed out. Have yet to attempt overclocking, but don't want to burn out the CPU. Might be worth a try, as a spare CPU is laying around.
Pushing the limits is how we learn .... the hard way!

It is not going to work. With parallel processing, you have to have a very fast interconnect. The fastest interconnect the T23 has is 100Mbps ethernet, and that isn't going to cut it. I would look at optimizing the operating system to make it as light as possible, make sure as you have as few processes running that you can.

Hunt around for Windows FLP, a slimmed-down version of XP.
Or go even further 'down' and install e.g. Puppy-Linux, to cut down on overhead as much as possible.
