Yes you heard right they are dual 2.3 GHZ
PowerMacMan said:He said the 2.5's are to hot to put in the Xserve in the "New PowerMacs Released" forum... Seems weird t o me...
Abstract said:Virginia Tech is a school, right? What exactly do they do with the 2nd fastest supercomputer in the world, anyway?

2) Universities need powerful computers for research and timeshare

4th, not 2nd (or 3rd anymore). There was some super-Intel (I think) box-based machine that bumped VA-Tech's Big Mac down from 3rd to 4th. It was discussed on Macrumors a while back...don't make me search for it, I hate searching.Abstract said:Virginia Tech is a school, right?

It doesn't really matter anyways, since Virginia Tech achieved their project goals. I don't believe longevity was a stated goal.
Abstract said:Apple should consider provide a way that would make clustering easier, maybe new software or something. They could seriously become a company that makes computers that are easily clusterable, maybe create software to make it easier or something, and just make it super simple to do.
macsrus said:Oh and the intel itanium cluster that you were refering to is name Thunder

legion said:Odd since they don't make a 2.3GHz Xserve and the Virigina order has been on the books for months and has yet to be filled and the Virgina cluster is going to be dropped off of the Top500 list since it's been dismantled for so long and Apple has yet to fill the dual 2.0 orders...
yeah, sure, VATech ordered 2.3 Xserves
