Take a look at the attached thread. As Steve mentioned, due to the fact that Bryce won't skip tiles this may make a render take longer or show only a small advantage (i.e. your fast machines won't start a new tile until the old machine has finished). However, if you have a good number of machines (4+) you should almost definately see an advantage. Also when rendering an animation, machine can jump frames, so the old clunker won't slow things down so much. Final note, if you have firewalls setup you may need to allow access from the controlling computers IP address (can't get too detailed here as it depends on firewall, and it's setup - but it's worth checking)
