AMD-64 large memory...

With Fedora Core release 1.92 (FC2 Test 3) installed, the Ultimate
Linux Box put up good numbers on the benchmarks, as might be expected.

Yes, with this much RAM we took the opportunity to build a kernel in a
tmpfs partition. 2.6.4 with all defaults set completed in 1 minute 41
seconds. More detailed benchmark results follow.

Motherboard/chassis: Celestica A8440 (AMD-8131 Chipset)
Memory: 16x PC2700 2048MB ECC REG (32GB)
RAID: Adaptec ASR2200S
Storage: Seagate ST336607LC 36GB U320 SCSI HDD x 4
