My 4x1.5GHz V440 I originally intended for this purpose unfortunately still takes 72 minutes last time I checked. I suspect a 8x1.2GHz V880 would be able to meet this requirement but I simply can't afford the housing for such a beast. Ken, did the V880s at your university become available as intended some time ago? Marius
