I'm not sure if you got the concepts right... You can build a cluster with AMD64 machines.... It's generally used to achieve high availability (one machine dies, the other takes the load) or improve the processing power (3 members in a cluster can do a job three times faster than just one, well that really depends on the kind of task and how it's programmed) Look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_cluster Regards, Ciro -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
