I'm not terribly sure that the PCI bus will stand up to that many interrupts
per second, though it's certainly possible.  Last I heard the PCI bus was
nearly at capacity servicing just 3 quad-span cards (note that the PCI bus
has other things to service, like hard drive accesses, network, keyboard,
etc.).

You'll probably do better with two machines, rather than trying to stack
everything into one.
