Matt, Thanks for your advice.
I suggest that you need a minimum of 16GB/node (2GB/core) and possibly > 32GB/node (4GB/node). > 8 Gb/node is enough for types of applications we are going to run on this cluster. Additional memory stickscan be added later if necessary. > > You will want to set up IPMI on all of the nodes. You want to avoid > touching the harware or even going into the machine room whenever practical. > Why is IPMI so important? Because this is small cluster, we can physically inspect the faulty modes, not a big deal. I check the pricing, IPMI is extra $100/node or $4000/40 nodes=2 extra compute nodes. We are on tight budget, and every penny matters. That is why I sent this email to get advice concerning pricing. Ivan
