Wait till they come out with Quad 775 server boards , kinda like the gigabyte royale Quad Opteron processor, so 4 Dual core optys for Octa core. So with quad 775 boards. 4+4+4+4= 16 CORES

OP OP The General Banned Messages 5,191 Sep 13, 2006 #16 XP Pro supports 32 cores. It's just SMP, if an OS supports SMP, that means it can balance loads across more-than-one processor. Is 4-cores more than one processor? YES ITS 4.
