The comment was actually about a 64-way virtual machine, not 64 virtual

I'm sure that z/VM supports a lot more than 64 virtual machines. 1987 already
at the site I worked we had VM running some hundred virtual machines,
including many VSE systems. This is very common.
Don't know nothing about the number of real CPUs z/VM supports, sorry.

Below is a URL pointing to a Gartner blurb on what may next in processors:
http://techupdate.zdnet.com/techupdate/stories/main/0,14179,2898075,00.html
It talks about the the number of CPUs going above 16 and the use of
multiple MCMs to help z/OS.
I know that z/VM supports 64 virtual machines
