Well I'm here to say your all wrong, well at least I have this set up working great. I have a headless machine in the hallway cupboard. (2.6 Intel Machine) and I run Nuendo on my Laptop in the Studio (1.8 Intel). I use XP with Remote Desktop, a feature of XP pro I believe.
I run lots of reverbs and hungry vsti's in my hallway. I can choose to tweek them via the Remote Desktop ( seeing the headless computer on my laptop ) or with the FX Teleport plug you can change between remotly hosted or locally hosted. You just choose local, make your tweeks and changes them flip it to remote. All latency is acounted for by Nuendo just like any other plugin. One or two plug ins don't work that well so I just don't use them remotely.
BTW I used to connect the two machine via one crossover network cable, with a few problems, then I got a 4 port switch and it works flawlessly.
I like my 4.4Ghz PC setup!
