OK, so I just took a look at our supplier's website. They list /one/ 
server which supports 16 physical processors. If each one had 4 
independent cores, that would give you 64 cores. The server costs 

which type of CPU it supports...

Going down to 8 CPUs... actually I see an Intel-branded rack-mount 

this is going to be a Xeon server. (Doesn't say which generation.) If 
they make 8-core Xeons, you could get 64 cores this way.


(4x the price.) That's /with/ 4x AMD Opterons installed though. (Opteron 
8384, quad-core, 2.7 GHz.) Also comes with 32GB of RAM installed.

Suffice to say, this stuff is expensive...
