Overclocker16 Posted December 30, 2003 Posted December 30, 2003 super computer and windows dont go together... Oh so true. Â Unix and tons of money for the super computer. That's what you need. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigred Posted December 30, 2003 Posted December 30, 2003 eh, technically you're right, unix or VMS and a monster itanium 2 based system... in otherwords MILLIONS of dollars down the toilet   however there are some monster systems based of 64-128 processor system under windows 2000/2003 data center.

Guest Ballz2TheWallz Posted December 30, 2003 Posted December 30, 2003 no like what would i need to make a small cluster of like 3 or so Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigred Posted December 30, 2003 Posted December 30, 2003 which is another 1000 bucks...  lets just say... you PROBABLY dont have the money for one $1000? data center is more like $1.2million. also those aren't clusters, that's just ONE box. technically not a super computer it's a major business server.

General912 Posted December 30, 2003 Posted December 30, 2003 i was working on a ghetto supercomputer never really got off the ground. I was throwing old pentium boards together on a piece of plie wood. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigred Posted December 30, 2003 Posted December 30, 2003 kevin, it's a matter of symantecs at this point. a cluster and a single comp are different animals all together. but no sense in getting into another debate about how things are worded. Kinda like pc and workstation. I blame society not you Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
