just wondering, but do any of us here even *have* that much RAM? I count myself obscenely lucky to have 512 megs, much less a whole gig, or 32!!! the only boards that I know of that support that much memory are multi-processor boards, anyways, made by Tyan. Imagine a 4-CPU board with 32 gigs or so of RAM decked out with four witheringly-fast AMD dual-core Opteron 64s? That's also many hundreds (perhaps thousands) of times more than I can afford, but you've got to admit, AMD does have poor little Intel beat by a rather impressive margin.
This also means, in a more on-topic point, that any linux OS that could actually *use* the 32 gigs would need to be a multi-cpu/multi-core distro, since there are no boards (to my knowledge) that support a whole 32 gigs for *one* CPU. -- === GCB v3.1 === GCS d-(+) s+:- a?
