I'd say that the normal current limit on SMP machines is 8 way. But you're right, we don't agree. Time will tell who was right. When I say I'm interested in 16 way scalability, I'm not talking about SMP, so perhaps we're talking at slightly cross purposes.

You seem to make this odd logical deduction quite a bit - you (or company X) has tried concept X before. Their implementation didn't work. Therefore the concept is bad. It's not particularly convincing as an argument style to others. But I understand that it makes *you* want to try something else.
