Heh. I've been doing some of that benchmarking. Yeah, it's fast.
We've actually been pleasantly surprised at how well Windows 2003
Data Center and the Intel CPUs were scaling; older versions of both

Of course, not all applications can make use of those 32 processors.
Now I must hie myself off to alt.folklore.computers to reminisce

we common folk could afford! And ...")
