we need to get a cluster to be used primarily for NAMD, and we need to 
get it ASAP.  we have money for 32 CPUs.  i assume the best 
bang-for-the-buck would be:
16 dual CPU 1U servers
gigabit ethernet interconnects
2GB RAM per server
if that's way off the mark, please let me know.  also, what 
architecture should i go with if i'm only running NAMD?  i'm tempted to 
go with an Opteron x86_64 solution, but what about Intel's Nocona?  
would a G5 cluster be worth looking at?
