<div><span class="q">Please help me out in selecting any one choice of the following: </span></div>
<div>
<div>(Currently I am making a gigabit ethernet cluster of 4 compute nodes (totaling 8 cores), with each node having)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>(Choice 1) </div>
<div>One Processor: Intel Core2Duo E6750 2.66 GHz Processor, FSB 1333MHz, 4MB L2.</div>
<div>Motherboard: Intel Entry Server Board Intel S3200SHV with intel 3200 Chipset supporting 1333/1066/800 MHz FSB .</div>
<div>RAM: 2GB DDR2 800MHz ECC System Memory.</div>

<div>(Choice 2)</div>
<div>One Processor: Intel Xeon 3075 2.66 GHz FSB1333 4MBL2.</div>
<div>
<div>Motherboard: Intel Entry Server Board Intel S3200SHV with intel 3200 Chipset supporting 1333/1066/800 MHz FSB .</div>
<div>RAM: 2GB DDR2 800MHz ECC System Memory.</div></div>
<div> </div>
<div>Which one system has larger memory-bandwidth/CPU-core?</div>
<div>Any other comment/remark? </div>
<div>My area work deals in sparse matrices.</div>
<div>I near future I would like to add 12 similar compute nodes in the cluster.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>with best regards,</div>
