Not a typo, the 875 supports 8-way processing, or 8 of these guys on one board. This is a high end datacenter component typically used by firms that don't even flinch at that price.

ok so help me out here when you say they have 8=way proc does that mean it has eight cores (probly stupid question) or does it mean it can interact with as much as 8 cpus at a time. i hear the dual core chips the agv people will be getting dont have this 2way or what ever way to workw ith other cpus? am i close to understanding this?

thx perc.
