Max. nodes per cluster

Hello.
I have read conflicting information about the maximum number of nodes per
cluster when using SQL Server 2000 Enterprise and Windows 2003 Enterprise (32
bit).
This article suggests it is possible to have 8 nodes
(http://www.sql-server-performance.com/rn_sql_server_clustering_2000_to_2005_1.asp) but in other places I have read 4 is the max.
Can someone please clear this up for me?Four is the max for SQL Server 2000. This will rise to 8 with SQL Server
2005.
