Installing a basic clusters requires at least 2 machines with network connected. Either using a cross-cable between the two network cards or a switch or hub. Off course the faster your network-cards the easier you will get better performance for your cluster.
These days Fast Ethernet is standard, putting multiple ports in a machine isn`t that difficult, but make sure to connect them through other physical networks in order to gain the speed you want. Gigabit Ethernet is getting cheaper any day now but I suggest that you don`t rush to the shop spending your money before you have actually tested your setup with multiple 100Mbit cards and noticed that you really do need the extra network capacity. Next to putting a gigabit card you might also want to try bonding different 100Mbit cards together.
