Ok, I am now in process of building my next "game" machine. Its a 2 processor machine, total cores are 24 running @ 2.8GHZ. At some point, this gets totally ridiculous - because very few games or even "mainstream" apps can make use of that horsepower. Nothing is really out there that will use it.

At what point do multiple cores become a waste for a game machine?
