I remeber reading a while back that microsoft's claim that 4.0 server could handle 4 CPUS was a little off, and that it had problems with servers running 4 CPUs. Im not sure if i'm remebering corectly. Does anyone have any information on this subject?

I'm not aware of any problems with NT 4.0 Server and 4 CPU's per se. We have 4 servers in our enterprise running quad processors and haven't had any problems specifically related to the amount of processors. Then again, it would depend on the type of processors, ASMP vs. SMP and the architecture. You'd have to narrow down your question some more. It's a little too generic.

There was a problem with multiple CPU's but it was related to a timing problem from Intel. Microsoft, to my knowledge had no problems.

Good Luck!
