Assuming you use a 2Ghz Pentium processor, the real problem with doing MD5 on a string that large is that (according to my calculations) you'd only get about two-thirds of the way through it before the Sun burned out (~100,000,000,000 years from now) and everything got sort of dark and nippy.

I'm also not optimistic that Windows would run that long with needing a reboot, but I guess it's possible.
