The stock IA64 Linux kernel supports 64GB memory and 32 processors.
I've been running on a 4xLion with 32GB ram, with a modified 2.4.9 kernel
(basically fix a couple driver bugs and kick the vm in the teeth so it
doesn't kill my machine). Others here have been running RedHat 7.2-based
kernels and 2.4.16/18 with the IA64 patches.
If you have problems with > 2GB memory it is most likely due to a driver
problem. The integrated SCSI and network seem to work fine [network only
uses memory < 2GB]; several others I've had to "fix".
If it just runs "slow", then it is probably a VM issue.
Kevin
