My current hardware is a single module, Origin 300 with > 4 R10000 CPUs. For the compile farm project I manage I was proposed a donation of the exact same hardware (Origin 300 with 4 cpus and 2GB RAM). I'll let you know when I have more information. BTW, in the SGI/MIPS family, do you know what is the most powerful hardware currently supported (hardware not weighting near a ton, more like a workstation or a few U)? Bootstraping GCC takes a while these days :). Thanks for your help, Laurent http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/CompileFarm
