Hi! Linux doesn't split memory that way (although some memory is still allocated to kernel of course) Max SGA I have allocated on 32bit server w. 8GB mem running RHAS 2.1 is 2.4G. The max is 2.7GB I believe, but you have to relocate SGA for that. Check metalink note 211424.1.
In addition, you can use extended buffer cache, but for that you need PAE (page address extension) capable hardware and need to create memory file systems etc.. Metalink note above covers the topic.
