Sorry i don't believe fritz can run on 8 processor box machine.
there are no shared memory 8 processor box machines simply.

the machine you mention it ran on 4 processors. the other 4 processors
are from a different quad. in fact the intel 8 processor Xeon machines
are 2 quads which are stuck together with glue.

Like you can glue together 2 K7 mainboards and sell it as a quad.

So you run dual on that k7 dual then. You run quad on that 8 way Xeon.

Note that a dual K7 is hell faster than a quad xeon. P4 doesn't run
quad very well. Too buggy. Will take quite some time before we see
p4 getting quad.
