You can only use two CPU *modules* since there are only two Mbus slots, but
you can install single *or* dual CPU modules in these slots, which is how
you'd get up to 4 CPU's.

I think Sparc 20's are the same in this regard, but I'm not sure which
dual-CPU modules are actually supported by Sparc 10's and 20's.

Craig.
