We've noticed that the 840 system board has room for 2 CPUs although it only uses one.  (The second slot is occupied by a "dummy" CPU).
 
 
I've heard rumors that Netapp will be releasing another version of ONTAP which would make it possible to drop another Intel CPU and therefore improving performance.
 
Has anyone heard the same?
