Depends on the processor you buy. I think 4tb is the typical limit for one cpu (at least as far as I remember) two cpus will give you more ram, but it comes with a speed trade-off if any thing in one cpu's memory needs to be accessed by the other.

I think AMD has a new tech that eliminates some of the speed penalty for memory on multiple cpu boards
