This depends largely upon the unique components from machine to machine,
but we're running a fairly-recent 3.0-CURRENT snap with a SMP kernel and
have encountered no problems.  We're running dual P5 200's and dual P6
400's.

Other than the CPU's, both setups are almost identical (Super Micro mb, WD
Enterprise UW2 drives, Exabyte SCSI TBU, 2x128MB DIMMs, 3Com 100MB, Matrox 
Millenium).  We're currently supporting ~10,000 users.  We distribute DNS,
mail, radius, ftp and http tasks across these boxes on a 24x7 basis.
