With more time we would have had an advantage.  8-way was doable but not on a
30-day notice.  16-way and beyond was also doable given enough time...

But the good news is that we have a little advantage anyway, since we will
really be running a 64 bit program and the processors are a tad faster to boot.
IE at least we don't enter with a disadvantage of any kind. :)

Also we know that my parallel search works well on this box.  The others will be
a mystery...
