Indeed, its a x86_64 cluster (more precisely 4 (master) + 16 (nodes)  
processor AMD Opteron machine with
freenx only running on the master). The installed versions are

nx-3.0.0-4.el4.centos.x86_64
freenx-0.7.1.svn416-2.el4.centos.x86_64.

CentOS-4 has been install from scratch

Best regards

Michael
