Based on this press release: http://www.suse.de/en/press/press_releases/archive99/4GB.html "SuSE GmbH, Nuremberg, and Siemens AG, Munich, have together now completed a Linux extension which allows the use of up to four GByte of memory on Intel-based servers."
This was put into the 2.3.15 development kernel... so I expect it is in the 2.4 series kernels... I'm looking to run a dedicated SAPDB server (no other applications), so I want all the RAM for a single SAPDB database. Is there any tested limit to which DATA_CACHE can be set on Linux 2.4.x?

Hi, Anyone have any experience with SAPDB and attempting to get it to best utilize 4GB of RAM? Any recommendations on which linux kernel, linux distribution? My goal is to make my database as responsive as possible .... I've seen dramatic increases by allocating more RAM to sapdb, and I wanted to find out if there were any limits or memory addressing issues to be aware of. I expect 2GB isn't a problem, but more than? Thank you.
