The 4-8cpu opteron will not run programs well without some work. I've already done it. Just dropping in deep fritz or something similar will not produce great results, from past experience. As far as 32 proc alpha, it depends on the box. I got reasonable scaling on the 32 cpu version I used last year at Compaq.
