Are you kidding?
If I had an 8-proc system sitting around, it'd certainly be *MY* Most
Beautiful Baby!

OTOH, *ARE* there any officially-supported 8-way setups on Intel
hardware?  Do any non-custom chips[sets] really even support better than
4-way?  I have a 6-way PPro motherboard gathering dust in a box at home,
but I believe it was a fairly custom (if large-quantity) job.

Mmm.  I have a sudden desire to run the world's first 32-processor P-66
system.
