I was told the Xeon processors will do fine up to 64gig. I realize the 64bit chips may be faster, but it is also new and I feel safer with existing technologies and hardware vendors.
My understanding is that CPU (4 Xeon 3gig processors) will not be a issue,
but hopefully adding the additional drive systems will help the most for IO
is what I am told is the big issue and hopefully utilizing the
recommendation will help minimize the bottleneck.
I believe there may well be an issue with multiple Xeon's - check the mailing list archives for details.
