Whether it'll actually efficiently use 32/64 CPUs is doubtful. Even our Sun rep here says that Solaris has a difficulty scaling beyond 23 CPUs. I guess we'll see.

Linux 2.4 has a hard limit of 32 processors on 32-bit archs, 64 procs on 64-bit architectures. (tho they're going to try to fix that for 2.5) something to do with word-sized processor numbers in a couple of places in the code.
