We are trying to add a new node to our existing cluster.

The new node has 4x8c, while the existing ones have 4x4, definitely
different chip sets.

Does not matter? Can we mix those two kinds of server together?

Thanks for your help

"Oracle RAC does not support machines having different chip
architectures in the same cluster. However, you can have machines of
different speeds and sizes in the same cluster."

Whatever that means. And we all know how 2 day DBA's are always right
and never lie.

It means that you can not mix a PowerPC with Intel or Intel with

may come into play as well -- I am not completely sure about Intel vs
AMD.
