I just order 64MB of RAM, hopefully that will help;^)

Hmmmm, not that unlikely.  In the simplest senario, you have two
identically configured machines.  One is a 386/33Mhz w/ 8MB of RAM;^),
the other is a dual ppro 200Mhz.  You could have a CompilerObject on the
ppro machine.  With the configs the same (same libraries, headers, etc)
you could easily return just the object files for linking.  However, it
would become slightly more difficult w/ say a 386 and an Alpha;^)

I've seen several example CORBA apps in books that are things like
sending two arrays to a ComputerObject that just returns an array that
is the two arrays multiplied together.  same thing basically.
