Sorry about this, an Intel question :(
Before you start bashing I love Apple, have lots, talked loads of people into buying them etc.
But...
I have a very odd requirement for a multi-processor Intel box. The only problem is that I can't seem to find anyone who sells a single box with more that 4 Intel chips inside. Any thoughts.
Oh and just in case you missed it, I love Apple.
Hugs.
Phil.

8 way systems are not common on x86 & you
will have to go to a vendor to order them
basically you are looking at an enterprise
level system with storage options & backup
options to boot
if the software is multiplatform then sun sparcs
are excellent choices
you might also wish to consult an experienced

Don't forget though, Win2K has logical cpu limits based on the level. Advanced server supports 8x (logical, not physical) and I think still sells for around $1000.00. Datacenter edition supports up to 32 but is $1,000,000.00. Yes seriously!
I would also recommend the distributed approach if possible.
