Oops! forgot about the machine room cluster machines, granted those will always need loads of RAM, but my desktop kind are at least 9-12 years from getting 64Gb of RAM

Re: Re:All that RAM! (Noah K Sematimba) 2. Re: Re:All that RAM! (Kiggundu Mukasa)My oracle database server has 48GB of RAM and 46GB of that is in use. At my previous work place, the billing system was a two node cluster and EACH of the cluster nodes had 96GB of RAM which is all in use. Infact I am currently having problems with not enough RAm and have to [plan an upgrade to 96Gb on my current server. Solaris handles these amounts of RAm with no problem at all and I expect that FreeBSD, and other forms of nix handle it without much trouble. Noah.

The nearest I have seen to that much RAM on a single machine is 4GB which was only registered as 3.7GB on a winxp desktop, i bet *Nix wouldn't do any better either. > > > regards > Joachim > --- On Fri, 6/27/08, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: LUG Digest, Vol 46, Issue 35 > To: [email protected] > Date: Friday, June 27, 2008, 2:00 AM > > Send LUG mailing list submissions to > [email protected] > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://kym.net/mailman/listinfo/lug > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > You can reach the person managing the list at > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of LUG digest..."Today's Topics: > > 1.

How could you be playing with that much RAM when some of us have never even seen 8 GB on a server :-) You are Fake and Hopeless and are Worthless to society as a whole!
