The "old" Sun Store ran on a total of 38 400Mhz US-II CPUs spread across
something like two E10Ks and an E6500 (or two E6500s and an E10K, something
like that - the first version of this PDF that I saw had specific numbers
on it).

They replaced it with a SINGLE eight-core (32-thread) T2000 system with 
another T2000 as a backup.

(and I've got an eight-core T1000 sitting next to the current SunHELP
 system (Thanks Sun!!), slowly moving things over to the new box.  
 I want to do the cutover by the end of this month..)
