Most reports are that the system will preform better with the regular kernel, and passing 'mem=860M' (or 880M) .... than using >= 1 gig or ram and the enterprise kernel. The 'bigmem' memory addressing scheme the enterprise kernels use imposes a performance hit. This has been mentioned off and on on the cooker and lkml lists. It's also been my experience. -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas
