I did see a pair of 740s clusetered at LISA. I've also been talking to my reseller about clustering a pair of them, with nary a word of it not being possible. I've also heard of clustering between a 630 and a 7xx, but it "wasn't supported."

The F740's support clustering. I'm currently waiting (very anxiously) for my cluster to ship. We have too many systems depending on a little old F330 right now.
