Re: [Gc-linux-devel] Gamecube cluster?

[Jesse K. <j.k...@ti...>]

I shouldn;t have used the word cluster because what I actually meant was
just a bunch of gamecubes connecting running the d.net client connecting
to one proxy. What about other projects such as seti? Do the need a lot
of memory and bandwith? And would these calculations be easier for the
gc?
