Hello pfPeople,

I'm acquiring a cluster of 30 rendernodes that have to run
OpenGL|Performer.

I am having troubles finding a 19" rackbased machine
that has PCI-Express graphics ("PEG") and can run
OpenGL|Performer.

Initially I discarded the Opterons because of the lack
of 64bit AMD support by Performer, but may have to
reconsider them and use them with legacy 32bit mode?

Does anyone know of a vendor that caries a suitable model?

Key issues for us are:

- REAL gigabit performance, thus: large MTU support
   (like Intel chips have, lots of broadcoms only do
    1500 mtu's).

- PCI-Express graphics

- Fast readback rate for glReadPixels

- OpenGL|Perfomer support

- Pbuffer support (which currently rules out ATI gfx).

- 19" housing. preferably low height.

Pointers are greatly appreciated!

Regards,

   pfBram.
