Let me try on my 48-core behemoth tomorrow. I haven't folded regularly in a while now. Going on 2 years I think.

EDIT: Maybe not... not enough RAM. I'll try it on a different server soon. Probably dual E5's with 64GB of RAM of some sort.

According to this thread, it's 16+ cores.

http://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=55&t=22148

It might be safer to go with 24 cores since 24 might be the minimum a year from now. Who knows?
