How many cores power your primary machine?

I'm sure you are already aware, you get 12+ cores with dual or quad socket motherboards.

Amd opteron 627x and 637x are all 16 core single Chips, so you can have 32 cores if you wish on a dual socket mobo. and there's also amd opterons on the 12 core end of things, for intel you gotta have more then 1 cpu to get to 12 actual cores but getting to 12 logical cores is pretty easy.

Update my old single core pentium 4 gone welcome home i5-3570k add me to the quad cores
