[K12OSN] dual Xeon and FC1

[David Huckaby]

Ram issue?
32 bit processors can only access 4 gigs of ram...
but I guess there is some 'bigmem kernel' that circumvents this somehow 
and the said kernel is somewhat unstable from reports on this list anyway...


My dual xeon machine I ordered with just 4 gigs of RAM as I don't really 
have the time between now and Aug. 9 to debug issues...I need my server 
working pretty much outta the box with location specific configs...
