   I downloaded the NWChem source for installation
on small Linux cluster (BTW, do I understand correctly
that NWChem-4.5.tgz is presented also in "separated" files,
i.e. is splitted to src4.5.tgz etc ?).

Sorry, is it necessary also to download and install ParSoft tools
(ARMCI, GA etc) *before* NWChem installation (this means that
NWChem distribution itself does not contains this tools) ?

We want to install NWChem on Gigabit Ethernet-based cluster,
which will be then upgraded to Infiniband.
I'm interesting in any information about performance of
NWChem "over" GigE (FAQ says that Fast Ethernet is bad
for large cluster, but what is about GigE w/4 nodes for
example ?).
