whats the core/cpu limit for xp/vista 64 bit?

i don't understand the question..... well... i never heard of a vista limitation concerning number of cores or number of cpus... i think it's more a MB spec.
i personnally have classical 8 core per blade.....

whats the core/cpu limit for xp/vista 64 bit?

XP/Vista Home - 1 physical socket
XP Pro/Vista Bus-Ent-Ult (and 64 bit) - 2 sockets

2000 pro - 2 sockets
2000 server standard - 2 or 4 sockets
2000 server advanced - 16 sockets

2003 SBS / Web Server - 2 Sockets
2003 server standard - 4 sockets
2003 server enterprise - 64 sockets

afaik virtual procs are not limited, well up to some limit like 255 or something so cores and HT are not an issue
