Help needed regarding E-switch stacking




Dear Lists,
	
	We are having a 20 node linux cluster with 
10/100 Mbps Intel EtherExpress 510T (manageable & stackable) 
switch. We would like to add some more machines with the existing
cluster.

I want to buy one more Ethernet Switch and stack with the existing
Intel 510T switch.

I need help / suggestion for the following.

1. Can i go for 1 more Intel 510T E-switch with stackable interface 
module and stack with the existing switch.

2. I have doubt, is it possible to stack two different brands of switches.
  (Like Cisco & intel)

3. What are pros and cons of stacking with the same brand or different
    brands.

4. What are the important technical specs, i should look before buying
   and stacking a Ethernet switch with an existing one.


Please through some light on this, from your experiences.


Thanking you in Advance
