Microsoft's Xbox packages a 733 MHz Pentium III, 64 megabytes of memory, a DVD drive, 100 Mbps Ethernet, and an 8-gigabyte hard disk for about $300. This would make it a reasonably powerful cluster node with an excellent price/performance ratio. Of course, the thing runs a slimmed-down variant of Windows 2000 instead of Linux, but has anyone discussed making an Xbox cluster? Sincerely, Josip P.S. Sony's PS2 Linux Beta Kit has been announced this April in Japan (see http://ps2.ign.com/news/33873.html or http://www.zdnet.com/zdnn/stories/news/0,4586,2712751,00.html). Xbox will probably not see anything similar from Microsoft. Other game boxes may be less powerful, but may have better prospects with Linux. -- Dr. Josip Loncaric, Research Fellow mailto:josip at icase.edu ICASE, Mail Stop 132C PGP key at http://www.icase.edu./~josip/ NASA Langley Research Center mailto:j.loncaric at larc.nasa.gov Hampton, VA 23681-2199, USA Tel. +1 757 864-2192 Fax +1 757 864-6134
