I am pretty sure they have tried to build a machine with 8 cpu k7s in order to find out it didn't work and was hard to get to work too, just like they have actually built quad and probably also 8 cpu P4s which simply never ran stable. In short there is always a dude who tries it in order to find out it doesn't work. Best regards, Vincent
