Dell PowerEdge 1950 can have up to 2 quad-core Xeons, for 8 cores total.
Supports up to 32 GB. Mind you, 16 GB costs about $3000, whereas 32 GB
costs $20,000! Just for the memory. These are Dell prices, I'm sure you
can find cheaper memory.
Configured with 2 dual-core Xeons at 3.0 GHz and 16 GB of RAM, two 150 GB
SAS hard drives configured in RAID, costs about $8400.
Configured with 2 quad-core Xeons at 2.66 GHz and 32 GB or RAM, everything
else the same, costs about $30,000.
