<div>Hello Dr. Satish,</div>
<div>Thanks for your intellectual reply.<br> </div>

<div>Currently I am making a gigabit ethernet cluster of 4 compute nodes (totaling 8 cores), with each node having</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> </div>
<div>What memory-bandwidth/CPU-core will be there for this system?</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>On such a cluster what if I relapce "C2D 2.66 GHz FSB1333 processor" with "Intel Xeon 3070/3075 2.66 GHz FSB1066/1333 processor"? Would there be any significant improvement in performance?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>with best regards,</div>
