Good 100 Mbps switches

[Eric Kuhnke]

I've had very good results with the HP Procurve 4000M series...

It comes with 40 10/100Base-T ports for $1499 from many online stores, and
is expandable to 80 ports total.  The only downside is the 8-port modules
are rather expensive ($350 each) if you need to expand beyond 40 ports.

We are going to setup a beowulf cluster with 32 nodes using 100 Mbps
ethernet.

Please recommand good (and of course cheap) switches that can be used for
this
purpose (we need more than 32 ports).

Regards,

Anuradha
