Bill:

Well, personally I think they should have like a limit of 2 CPU's on
Ultra platforms, but on anything earlier (sun4m or sun4d, etc) there
should be no cpu limit. I mean if I run an SC2000 with 16 CPUs in my
house, how is that hurting Sun? Now if I had an E10k in my business, I
can see where they might get upset.
