So is there really a future for multiprocessor systems in the future. And I mean like Two xeons, not multiple core processing. This subject is quite interesting to me....thoughts.

Is this useful in areas besides Servers?

Most definitively. I run media servers and seeing 8 cores at or near load is nothing for me. In my world of multimedia production I can never have enough CPU power
so you're saying that if we pooled together and bought you a BlueGene based cluster or some equally monstrous system, it would still be insufficient for your compute needs? (whats sad is in like 15 years this will probably actually be true for the average consumer, if history is any indication of the future)
I see, so basically having the ability to reduce redundacies in other places besides the CPU. Is this useful in areas besides Servers?

Multiple processors has absolutely nothing to do with redundancy, if you are using the accepted definition of redundancy (IE: Failover). There is no such thing as redundant CPU's in any platform.
Servers use multiple CPU's mostly for higher threads, whether it's for large database applications or any other simultaneous requesting application (high volume web servers, ESX farms, etc...)
