I'm not absolutely certain, but I believe Linux supports up to 128-way SMP. I know for sure it supports 2 and 4-way, as I've seen such systems in operation. Perhaps it requires a kernel patch to support greater than 4-way, I realy don't recall.

Just a note: If memory serves, some distros don't support SMP out of the box, so you may have to remake the kernel.

They even have cluster versions of Linux, in case you want to build a supercomputer cluster.
