Try again - I found the bottom ticks were 8 cores and 256GB.

Fair enough - I had considered that to be on the axis since it's the minimum value, and thus not a tick, but visually it certainly is represented as a tick.

At any rate, the point I was trying to make is that they clearly expect you to throw a lot of hardware at these systems.

Sure, but a lot of projects LIKE this have an open source project for those people NOT in the enterprise, and who probably won't be running more than 8-24 cores or so.

On a related note, changing the amount of RAM seems to only change the amount of RAM, not any of the other numbers. I guess that's their point, but I would rather they just SAY that than make me try a bunch of options to show that RAM doesn't matter. :|
