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 :)

And if it turns out that there is a God, I don't believe that he is evil.
The worst that can be said is that he's an underachiever.
