Supercomputing without Itanium

Anybody got any suggestions for multiway systems ie Over 8x Dual Core or Quadcore opteron servers?

Best I can find is the Sun XW4600 (think thats the code)..

Things like the Unisys ES7000 look like they participate as cluster nodes and I just want one **** of box.

Needs to run Windows 2003 Enterprise or Datacentre, as SQL wont work on Windows 2003 CCS

Also recompiling for the IA64 architecture isnt an option at the moment.

8 way X4600 looks about it. Replacing the dual cores with quads may be expensive though

Did you look at the IBM x3850 ? They do a 4 way 4 core xeon that runs winslug

LOL..

dont like IBM X series since they ditched the cascade style kvm cables when we were using the x330's at my old place..

HP do the DL580 for a 4x quad core xeon.
