This turned out to be a bad proposal, since the workstation didn't 
boot up anymore with the vanilla kernel.


Perhaps I should have explicitly quoted here what the page also
says:

" Important notes ...
  most systems work better and run in a more secure manner with the
  official Fedora kernels"

Next time I might just mention exactly this ... ;)

Fortunately, the local IT support went in and updated the BIOS which 
fixed the memory issue


Congratulations!
And thanks for the feed-back!

$ free

available
Mem:   65845468  69088064087868  161676 1066720 
64368104

Swap:  62499836   062499836

and they also booted the computer in a Fedora kernel. (I'm off-site for 
a couple of months.)


I.e. the BIOS was the problem, as I had suspected.
