It really depends on the PC & workload. What is your budget here? Look at tmpC numbers, and also $ per tpmC. Also, look at machines like the Unisys e7000 server, allows 16 and soon 32 CPUs, they call it a 'Intel based mainframe'.
(This is a really neat machine. We're a Unisys A series mainframe shop, but have been briefed on this box. Anyone who wants more details feel free to email me).
