8gb memory on Redhat AS 2.1

[t]

Hi,
Thanks for the link.
This will most likely solve the problem.
I was wondering which version would be the best to install.
Given that the system this is running is 2.4.9-e.57smp, would it be best
to install the equivalent enterprise version or should go for the latest
release (e.72)?

Regards
Tony Delov
