I understand that the 2.6.* kernels are much better at large memory support (with respect to performance issues), so unless you have a 64-bit machine lying around - this is probably worth a try.
You may need to build a new kernel with the various parameters :
CONFIG_NOHIGHMEM CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G
set appropriately (or even upgrade to the latest 2.6.10). I would expect that some research and experimentation will be required to get the best out of it - (e.g. the 'bounce buffers' issue).
In the standard rpm FC 2-3 with a newly install server , would it automatically detect and config it if I use the mechine with > 4 Gb [6Gb.] or should I manually config it? Amrit Thailand
