Commodity motherboards accepting 6GB and more have been out for years. I just picked up some dual Xeon boards for ~$500 that will take 12GB. The kernel needs to be compiled specifically to support that much RAM. I think the Red Hat "enterprise" or "bigmem" kernels built with CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G=y, but I'm not sure if they shipped those with 7.1. The per-process addressable memory stays at something under 4GB regardless of how much you stick in the box. - J< _______________________________________________ Seawolf-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/seawolf-list
