Does anybody know how many physical processors Fedora 8 can support? Planning on a Quad quad-core machine for an insane client of mine. Does anybody know if this will work?
(its gonna be a rad box...6x1TB HDD, 16GB RAM, 4x Gigabit Ethernet, 4x Intel Core 2 Quad 6700)
Thanks in advance!

Should be good.

The Linux 2.6 kernel is ready for production use on systems with up to 32 processors, and has even been tested on 64-processor systems
