System was purchased from Dell, preloaded.
Everything I can tell shows it is running the x86_64 version

   # uname -a
   Linux hydrogen 2.4.21-15.EL #1 SMP Thu Apr 22 00:09:47 EDT 2004 
\ 		  	x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

And when I run apps that suck up memory, they grow to 10GB for a
single process (8GB main memory + swap).

Royal run-around today.  RH points fingers at Dell, Dell points back.
Total 4 hrs on phone to get nowhere.
