Are you sure?
Anybody else can strengthen this statement?

OK... here's what I'm very positive at:
The stock kernel that shipped with RH 7.0 didn't detect 4 GB RAM on my
system!!! I don't know whether the problem is with RH 7.0 or my system, but
until I'm convinced that RH 7.0 ships with kernel that by default be able
to handle 4 GB of RAM, I'm still on my way of finding appropriate way to
upgrade my system to use 2.4.x kernel.
Thanks...
