Super computer motherboard

I was looking at this motherboard
http://tyan.com/products/html/thunderk8qw.html
It has 4 slots for AMD 64bit Opteron and 16 DDR DIMM slots but what oporating systeam would support that much ram cause XP supports 4 gigs max. and what will support 4 CPU's but any way that would make one powerful pc and if all the slots where filled with one gig ram sticks

The 64bit windows and most linux operating systems will easily support that

The standard edition of Windows Server 2003 can easily accomadate 4 CPUs; the enterprise edition can handle 8.

Tyan is a company most well known for making server boards anyway.

If something like this is implemented into hardware that si available for the common pc gaming enthusiast it would be something out of this world.

There would be a point where the game wouldn't benefit from anymore RAM/CPUs, so the performance really wouldn't be a great as you'd think. It'd still be nice tho, you could fold, play BF2, encode and burn some DVDs and update Steam all at the same time.
