Intel already has a 32 core system. They have given test models out to 
various experts, to do their debugging/testing for them, to see how well 
they work. Note, this isn't 32 cores on X chips. Its 32 cores on **one** 
chip, so the issue is how much you can cram on the chip, not how much 
room there is on the MB.
