> Actually, several companies are currently offering clusters with more than 2 nodes, using NT on Intel processors. Companies are also offering NT servers with considerably more than 4 Intel processors. Unisys has one with 12 PPro's I believe, though I don't know if they're actually selling them yet. Haz -- Yes, other companies are offering NT clusters with more than two nodes; however, Paul's message to which I was responding asked specifically about NT Enterprise Edition, which supports only 2-node clusters. Clustering beyond two nodes currently requires third-party software. My second point (and I may not have been clear on this) was that clustering is unrelated to the number of processors in a system. It's common to demonstrate clustering on laptops, which of course have only one CPU each. Most production clusters are of multiprocessor machines. Eric.
