We found that network performance varied greatly with motherboard chipset. I have a comparison of an 840 chipset system with an 860 chipset system at: http://www.cs.utah.edu/~hartner/cluster/cluster.html The 840 chipset system had a peak bandwidth of about 400Mbits/sec, whereas the 860 chipset system had a peak bandwidth of about 500Mbits/sec. I literally took the drive out of the first system to test the second system, so the only difference was the MB chipset and CPU. Our performance tests were not CPU bound, which leads us to believe that it is the MB chipset that made the difference. Mark
