No offense, but that does sound stupid to me. Atom CPUs are very slow and for the price of a used netbook, you can buy a regular mid-range CPU that is many times faster.

A recent Atom CPUs scores about 0.5 in Cinebench. An AMD Phenom || X4 is easily eight times faster and costs less than a netbook - but you'd need eight netbooks to match that one Phenom.
