Ok, lets say the average PC can test 1,000,000 keys per second and you have a network of 1,000,000 PCs... ahh well, let's not be stingy - you have a network of 1 billion PCs that each can check 1 billion keys per second.

It will still take apx. 10 trillion (!) years to walk through all possible keys.

So, if you really, really want to see that movie, you might want to go for it (make sure to check out a nice and cozy solar system that will still be there in that amount of time...)
