damn it needs to be that fast??? so i would need what a dual 10gbt card in each node. then connect all 8 wires to the switch?
did you get my pm? i havent gotten any offers on anything, maybe they are all to expensive?? but its yours untill i can sell it. then ill let you do some remote login work for your classes, and to see what magic you can work with the NUMA programing when you have access to this for testing purposes.. hehe

what i really would love doing with it is some HPC work using boinc to really rack up the stats.... do you think this would work better, or a blade center? ive got all the software i need for it, i just need to know what sort of hardware ive got to get. would you be able to do a lil reasearch and tell me what i need for either the c6100 or this http://www.ebay.com/itm/HP-C7000-BLA...91034888783%26
