Share computer hardware over network?

I've got a question. I have the new aluminum iMac upstairs and an old power mac downstairs. can I, iver the network, share their resources, so my iMac works better? Is there software for that?

I just want to borrow the RAM and CPU from the powermac. Please tell me of softwares that do that. and if I'm asking in the wrong place, please tell me where to ask.

and to put not simply?

aaand will the ppc powermac ram fit in my imac?

Look up the various specs of the 2 machines here and you can quickly see if RAM is compatible

You would need similar hardware architecture and an AIX-like hypervisor to control them.

to save you the time of looking it up - no, it will not fit in your iMac

you could however use the powermac as networked storage.
