Of course, if we're talking AMD64 systems, if a NODE is a socket, the
currently available architecture supports 8 NODES, so there's plenty of
space to grow such a system. I think there's plans to grow this, but I
doubt that the limit above will be reached anytime soon. 
Even if a node is a core within a CPU, the current limit of 8 sockets
will limit the number of cores in a system to 32 cores when the
quad-core processors become available. So still sufficient to support
any current architecture.
