I need to run a windows based simulation software for my research work. It takes about 4 hr to complete the simulation on my AMD Athlon 2800+ with 1GB DDR400 RAM running on win xp sp2 platform. I want to complete the above simulation in 1 hr. Pls recommend server(s) for the same. You may notice that the main requirement is processing speed, not the reliability or the fail safe architecture of the server. If the multiple desktop can be connected to do the same, then give me the info. of the service providers who can do this.

turn your attention to xenon processors and 16gig of ram

better still look for XC1 Cray system or IBM server solution.

from useage you propose (bring down processing time from 4 to 1 hr.) multiple blades are to be used. this sort of computetation i presume will be much more costly than other server solutions

This server will b purchased by university with a max budget of abt 10 lakh including the charge for the os and installation. will it be sufficient for multiple blades.
