Makes me drool a bit here. I want a 8 core CPU. The only downside,
gkrellm won't have enough screen to show each core separately. That's a

What's the problem, now you have all the justification you need for
buying a bigger monitor ;-)
I have 8 cores with krells for each, plus for procs, 2 disks and 3
interfaces. And plenty vertical space to spare.
1920x1080 monitor of course :-)
I have 16 cores.
You can get a g34 16 core 62xx or 63xx opteron for only $10-40, buy two
and combine that with a compatible coreboot motherboard and compile
times will at last be bearable.
Note: the 63xx series needs microcode updates for virtualization, but
62xx works with no microcode at all.
