SISD is definately out folding us, but if we can keep getting more stragglers to overcome the eventual drop off, we may be able to close the gap with them some. I may be able to get some more in but throttle them back so I don't cook 'em.
Whoohoo, just got a little 2005 bonus today ! Darn those big nasty corporations who treat their employees bad </sarcasm>. I am going to surf eBay for some used mother boards and put together a little diskless folding farm/rack as I mentioned some past posts. Just 4 or so nodes for a start Ill try to keep them all p4s. The one PIII Im currently using takes too dang long for my impatient self. I see old ASUS and ABIT P4 MBs on there going for 10-$30. Some even still have the CPUs in them at that price. It may be a while, as it will be a learning experience, and I still need to acquire the goods. But I am in the for as long as my interest is peaked the competition thing helps with that!
