Doug,
	it seems that people have mixed results with large memory kernels
on 32 bit systems. The problem is that the tricks used to move around
pages to actually access memory over 4GB don't always play well with all
mobos and processors. I had dismal results, others reported excellent
results, ymmv. the new 64 bit xeons will be available shortly. it might be
worth the wait, since all the extended memory issues are moot on them.
