The nodes in question would all have GiGE over copper with 2.4 Ghz P4's connected to a switch with a 60 Gb/s backplane. I do see you point. I have not put together the cluster yet, but It will probably set up as soon as the OpenMosix people release an RPM for RedHat 8.0 (I could probably get it to work with 8.0, but I'll probably wait anyhow). It should be interesting to see how it works out. I'll post the results to the group.
