For Peach we will use multiple cores, and running Linux 64 bit. I 
can't remember the memory specs we decided on, they are also different 
for e.g. animation and compositing computers.

About multithreading single nodes, tile based compositing is mentioned 
on the development page. If we add it, I think multithreading single 
nodes will follow from that.
