You could also run Mandriva, it has good support for multiple cores. I
haven't run it on anything with more than 4 cores personally...
Here's the info on kernel package options:

(rant)
...and a lot of stuff like MySQL and Apache are optimized better (IMHO)
than RH / CentOS, and it actually contains a useful set of packages,
like if you want to do something *insane*, like have your PHP
application talk to a MS-SQL or Oracle database without having to do a
custom compile of PHP and Apache, or go track down someone's
questionable collection of RPM's.
(end rant)
