(sorry if this gets posted twice) Hello, I am doing some research into the configuration of a 32 1U node Beowulf cluster and have a question regarding CPU configuration. The current choice is between Intel P4s as Itaniums seem a little bleeding edge at the moment, or the latest AMD chips. AMD seem to be getting a impressive performance for the price, but I?m a little concerned about the lack of mature multiprocessor chipsets and their heat issues. Intel on the other-hand have the MP chipsets but seem to be falling down with current lack of (non-commercial ) complier that support MMX and SSE, and the whole issue of Rambus Vs DDR memory. I would be grateful for any insight into a choice of CPU and its configuration in terms of price/performance/expandability, or any other factor I should be considering. Thanks Nick
