BTW, I don't know if you say this as a joke, but those are not necessarily
lousy hardware. Sun does lousy hardware when they put Sparcs in PCs (ultra5,
ultra10, blade100). But their servers generally are nice with large memory
busses and very scalable SMP architectures.

I guess Con was kidding. A 24-CPU system can be anything but lousy hardware.
