Just take care with more than 8 CPUs, because you need the largesmp kernel then. Worked on a 8 socket, 16 CPU system where that was a pain due to binary kernel modules.

Now those machines could be 32 CPU systems... and you could add 8 sockets more. 64 CPUs on Intel platform with commodity hardware. Not that many years ago that would have been utopia :)

A few years from now you'll need that much horsepower to play Quake VIII. :)
