AFAIK it depends on how well coreboot supports the machine.

I'm currently looking through spamd.c and trying to learn.

You only need a great deal of memory if you wish to use deduplication,
which is an optional ZFS feature that some people consider worth the
cost. While the complexity and licensing of ZFS make it inappropriate
for inclusion in OpenBSD, at least in the near future, let's not throw
around insults as
