Hardware for memory intensive task

[Robert Bahnsen]

 Hi,

we intend to set up a compute cluster for tasks with pretty much memory (1GB)
per node for operations with big matrices. We are familiar with SUN WS, but 
they seem to fall back. We doubt wether a PC can perform well with so much 
memory per node. So, are there alternatives to EV6 in some DS10 boxes?

Thanks for comments
