[AMBER] CPU core requirements for GPU Amber?

Hi all,
has anyone done any comparison testing to determine the optimal number
of CPU cores per executing GPU?
I'm thinking of putting together a GPU system to run Amber. In this
case, would a single quad core Xeon be enough for four (4) Fermi cards
(GTX480, for example)? One core per card, in this case. Or should I
really go for a 2:1 ratio and a dual quad-core cpu with fewer GPUs?
Are there any other considerations for a multi-GPU hardware configuration?

Thanks for any advice

Sasha
