Hi,

Does anyone have any experience with deploying linux on really high end
intel boxes like maybe an 8 way Proliant DL760 with 16GB ram?

I read in the kernel documentation that support for 64GB was possible but
required a kernel with large memory support which in turn would use an
intel processor feature called PAE (Physical Address Extension). Does this
work well and is there a significant memory performance hit?

Have any of you done any testing with 4 way and 8 way intel boxes with linux?

Thanks,
Vic
