<P><FONT SIZE=2>These are interesting Spec's. In our research we found that a dual-boot machine with Windows and Linux was bad - eventually the builds and drives would fail. In addition we have not gotten a single version of VIC to stay functional for more then an hour with dual processors. Have you worked around this? What version of VIC? </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>hi Josh,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>you can view our current configuration of a single box windows AG Node at <A HREF="http://research.dartmouth.edu/collab/accessgrid/" TARGET="_blank">http://research.dartmouth.edu/collab/accessgrid/</A>.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>while we have operated quite a few variations of this configuration, and we continue to experiment with different elements of it, we have been very stable with this particular configuration for many months now.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>note: this box is dual bootable as a linux box but we default to windows both for enabling native powerpoint and because it seemed to have better display performance under windows.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>fyi,</FONT>

<BR><FONT SIZE=2>I was wondering if anybody had any specs on a single machine AG node. We have a very rough setup now, but Cindy told me that someone was working on specs or a tutorial for one. Thanks for any help.</FONT></P>
