Arch x86_64 AMD64 Cluster!!!!!

I recently bought a few amd64 barebones so they could help speed up the compile time for the arch x86_64 port. Here are some pictures http://genesis.blogdns.net/packages/other I took them with my phone so the quality isn't that great. I have 1 master node it is an athlon 64 fx-51 (socket 940) with 3 hard drives (2 40gb 1 20gb) in a software raid 0 and 1gb pc3200 ram, with a geforce fx 5600 running twinview, asus sk8n mb. then there are 3 diskless nodes, they use athlon 64 3000+ (socket 939) cpus, 512mb pc3200 ram, all powered by msi's rs480m2-il. These are the coolest motherboards i have ever bought. EVERYTHING is built in which is exactly what i was looking for and they even have 1 pci-e slot. the motherboards r u-atx.[/img]

Nice!

Do you know if xorg is working on the integrated graphics of the msi mainboard? I would like to buy it in the near future, but did`t find much about it on the net.

That is awsome...  I am glad to see such intiative in creating a 64 bit port.

Re: Arch x86_64 AMD64 Cluster!!!!!

Why build a socket 940 system though?  Those have less of an upgrade future than socket 754 does.  I have 2 socket 939 based systems.  An Athlon 64 3000+ which I use for a development system and an Athlon 64 FX55 for my desktop.  I like knowing that when the Athlon 64 X2's are out I can simply flash my BIOS and drop one in here.

Re: Arch x86_64 AMD64 Cluster!!!!!

the socket 940 system isn't new. I got it when the athlon 64 originally came out.
