I seriously doubt that you need (or want) an 8-processor machine. It won't run
Crafty 8 times faster than a single CPU machine. With each new processor, the
speed increase is less and less. For what you'd pay for an 8-cpu machine, you
could get a killer computer, single or dual processor, or a 64-bit machine.
