ok dude, on ebay, i have seen 8 pIII xeon boxs, im thinking about buying a 4 proc pentium pro system. as for 16 proc linux, never seen it, but i heard it booted on a 128 proc sun box, but it wasn't running optimally on it.

I think you shall be having examples where Linux is running on 8 or 16 CPU system with free clustering?

What sort of clustering do you prefer? I gave you one example running on 1040 PIII processors. I can give you more examples as there are several types of clustering. Again, use google and you shall find. But, you would rather just pay M$ because their fudmeisters showed up on your doorstep. Personally I have run Linux on an 18 processor Sun server. I put an old Sparc Center 2000 to good use. Again, search, use your brain, it's certainly not hard to find this information.

windows dosn't just run on x86 it runs on alpha and sparc and pa-risc I THINK i am postive on ALPHA but not about other archs
voidmain:
NT 3.51 USED to run on Alpha but they quickly dropped it like a rock. You better check again, x86 only. In addition to Alpha they also had a PPC and a MIPS version for a very short time (also only NT 3.51). It never ran on any other processors that I am aware of. It NEVER ran on Sparc, monkeys will fly out of Scott McNealy's butt before that happens.
In fact on the NT 3.51 Server CD there was the usual I386 directory, along with an ALPHA, PPC, and MIPS directories. You'll not find them on any other version.
