Would you be interested in sharing your new webserver configuration along with some load stats(maybe an mrtg traffic graph)? I am curious to see what kind of load you are getting that is prompting you to goto a cluster system.
I stopped purchasing and reccammending the bp6 boards simply becuase I could not rely on them to reboot properly. Installed 98, NT4, DreadHat-6, none of them would reboot without haveing to powercycle the machine. Needless to say this is not usefull as a reliable machine.
We run a few 200's as well. Would definatly be nice to be able to swap the drives willy-nilly. Still havn't figured out if the 200 fully supports hotswaping of the hard drives. Linux is not ready for that yet either anyway. XLV would be more usefull still. Striping is the only thing that keeps the sgi machines usefull - the 180-250mhz processors don't go thru cgi as fast as the new pentiums. (IMHO)
What ever happened to putting more read/write head/armatures on hard drives? I mean.. duh. two head opposite sides of the platter- one writes the other verifys, - single platter spin.
I remeber seeing one hudge drive opened up at DiskDrive Depo on day. Even if the drive sizes go back up to 5.25 form factor, I'd be happy (member bigfoots?).
If NASA gets commercial status, will they get slammed by federal pollution laws and activists? I remeber something about a report that rockets launching to space was horrid on the ozone shield. The goverment/military launches of course would not be affected for some reason.
I really wish SGI had gone with AMD instead. Could have made two stuggling companies into one bigger healthier one. I also wish AMD had gotten the DEC alpha instead of compaq first.
A high end Riva card with the digital output nesssary to use one of SGI's flat panel monitors. That is currently what is holding me back from buying one of them. Also it would have been nice for SGI to aquire AMD. AS far as I could see it everyone would profit by the results that could come about there.
Should hold one of these benchmark test every six months and invite more contenders. I would like to see FreeBSD, Solaris, Irix, and even say BeOS in these. It could be done during a convention weekend and marketing could have a field day.
Not having used webbench for more then a minute before giving up, I would like to know what all these requesting machines get from the server. The same file? I administer a farm of webservers, including some very big machines hosting 400 plus websites per machine. The biggest problem we have is in disk wait time as no two requests are for the same file. Some file system statistics would be nice. Only problem we have is when daily logs fill up the hard drive and apache crashes the machine cause it can't write. System Activity Report for linux?
Anything over 20 ms is slow triton comes in fine:)

Now will it crunch RC5 keys faster then say an intel pentium 200?
Great now if only Be would support any of th hardware in my machine. onboard adaptec scsi not detected, Riva TNT not supported, voodoo2 not supported, Yamaha PCI sound card not supported. So one more game that I can play just as well if not better on win98 isn't going to get me to try Be again.
