You haven't tried an 8-way intel box yet. It doesn't scale nearly as well as the 2-way and 4-way intel boxes do. The chipset for supporting 8 cpus is simply not very good... The 8-way box using the same clock speed for the processors will only be about 1.5X faster than the 4-way box, and that doesn't count parallel search overhead at all.
