Hello guys, |

As I told some of you in frankfurt, I might have the possibility of getting a |
| 4 |
big hp machine. Here is what it is |

This machine has : |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
8*Xeon900Mhz(2M cache) yes, 8 cpus |
| 11 |
16G of Ram yes, 16 giga |
| 12 |
2*18G hard drive in RAID1 |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
the bad things : |
| 15 |
it weights 65 kg |
| 16 |
it is big (6U) |
| 17 |
it eats power (1.5 KW) |
| 18 |
it can have only 2 hard drives |
| 19 |
the RAM access is not the fastest in the world |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
but this machine still kicks ass :) It can handle 1000 of loads, and you have |
| 22 |
still control (has been tested). I don't know if it delivers more instant power |
| 23 |
than a dual g5 though. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
This could be perfect for compilation, or cross compilation. And for anything |
| 26 |
cpu consuming task. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Maybe it would need new hard drives, but it is expensive. |

|
| 30 |
Would this be useful ? |

The guy is ok to give it to us if it is fully used. So we need to list him what |
| 33 |
we have today, and how we would use this machine. |
