I am curious as to who would actually populate these servers with 8 processors. Although NT Enterprise edition will support 8 way processing, Win 2000 server & Win 2000 Advanced server will in most cases not. For that you need Win2k Data Center Edition.

Actually, that's incorrect. Windows 2000 Advanced Server will support up to 8 CPUs.

Steve -
I think that the cut point for advanced server is 8-way i.e. an 8-way user can run either advanced server or datacenter - since datacenter will not be available until later in the year, I doubt that MSFT will leave the 8-way servers hanging...
