[Beowulf] Thought that this might be of interest

[Vincent Diepeveen]

Impressive bandwidth.

Is this the so called 'k8h' revision which has improved SSE2 throughput?

Mind running a prime95 test at 1 core and then at 4 cores, and print the 
iteration time you can get,
like you can find it here?

That's the time to do a multiplication and a modulo if i understand well in 
order to try to win
