Actually fairly normal kernels work just fine on the large boxes, I have ran 
stock FC6 kernels up to 8 cpus/16 cores and up to 64GB of ram with no issues.

Clustering setups are only needed when you have more than 1 machine, having lots 
of cpus on a single machine is much easier than clustering as you don't need 
have to worry about the networking, and the memory can be shared easily between 
the cpus.
