Greetings,

> Does anyone have experience using 24GB RAM on a 32-bit Linux (+PAE) 

Only got up to 16GB (on an old eight x86 CPU box).  Since your above
4GB, you've proven that PAE does work.  So adding RAM shouldn't be a
problem.  But I found for some [32 bit] java stuff, you may actually
need to increase [disk] swap size.  And on some Java configurations
(Solaris & PowerMACs), you couldn't run Java for more than a day before
running out of memory (i.e. either stop java or reboot the machine once
a day).


> Dell PowerEdge 2900 III * Currently has 8GB
> RAM installed * Max RAM is 48GB (12 slots, 4GB/slot)
> 2x Xeon E5430 quad-core 2.66GHz CPUs

I'd recommend running 64 bit Linux, then if you really need 32 bit,
create several KVM images to run multiple [visualized] 32bit Linux
instantiations for your 'old' software.

Later,
        William Altaffer
