FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

AMD and Linux NetworX Expand Relationship
The Boeing Company Now Using Linux NetworX Cluster Powered by AMD Athlon(TM) 
processor

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, March 14, 2001 - Linux NetworX today announced
intentions to further develop Linux clustering solutions based on the AMD
Athlon(TM) processor. Linux NetworX will offer AMD Athlon processors in its
popular Evolocity(TM) family of cluster systems.

Several enterprise customers are already benefiting from Linux NetworX
clusters using AMD Athlon processor technology. The Boeing Company, for
example, is using a Linux NetworX cluster powered by 96 AMD Athlon
processors. The system, designed as a high performance cluster, is being
used by Boeing Space & Communications in Huntington Beach, Calif. to run
computational fluid dynamics applications in support of the Delta IV
program. Boeing Delta IV engineers tested multiple processor platforms at
Linux NetworX facilities prior to buying the cluster, and selected the AMD
Athlon for its price and performance advantages.

"The Linux NetworX cluster system and the performance of the AMD Athlon
processor provide an excellent solution that satisfies our requirements,"
said Daniel Hart, Director of Systems Engineering and Integration, Delta IV
Launch System Program for Boeing.

Both the academic and private sectors have adopted AMD Athlon
processor-based parallel cluster systems for use in high-level computing
and scientific research.
 The AMD Athlon processor's advanced technology has provided the
scalability and flexibility to create powerful cluster systems, linking
multiple compute nodes into parallel clusters.

"Linux NetworX clusters, when combined with AMD Athlon processor, create a
solution that can match the performance of supercomputers and
enterprise-class servers," said Lee Little, AMD's Director of Field
Marketing for the Americas. "Several successful enterprise installations of
Linux NetworX cluster systems using AMD Athlon processors illustrate that
the technologies work well together to create powerful computational
clusters."

Linux NetworX designs hardware and management software for high performance
(HPC) and high availability (HA) Linux cluster systems. HPC clusters serve
as powerful compute engines for organizations requiring massive amounts of
algorithm calculation.  The HA design takes advantage of the built-in
redundancy and automatic failover inherent in clustering and serve as an
ideal server platform for Web hosting, and media streaming applications.

"We're excited about working with AMD's advanced processor technology, and
specifically using the AMD Athlon processor. It ensures that Linux NetworX
customers will have access to the latest cutting-edge technology in our
scalable cluster solutions," said Clark Roundy, Linux NetworX Vice
President. "The high performance and reliability of the AMD Athlon is a
nice match for our customers who are looking to maximize their system
investment."

The Evolocity line of clusters by Linux NetworX, will all offer AMD Athlon
processor technology. Evolocity is a complete turnkey cluster solution,
including unique hardware and Linux NetworX cluster management software,
ClusterWorX®.
