Re: CCL:cluster configuration

["C. Klein" <cklein -AatT- pharma.ethz.ch>]

Hi,
 do you want to use those machines for ab initio stuff, classical MD, or
 what else?
 One word of caution concerning athlons: one of our athlon machines
 failed after 6 months; CPU destroyed, possibly because of overheating.
 Athlons can become quite hot, as well as the I/O (e.g. southbridge)
 chips. Some MBs have extra fans for the southbridge. Get good cooling
 and good warranty conditions.
 Regards, C.K.
