Re:And then there's SGI. (Score 1)

We are currently running with 4GB memory on our 4x500 Dell 6350s. We are using it to run Oracle8, which is a story in and of itself.

We have worked with an engineer at SGI on implementing the SGI 4GB patch which has been out for some time.

There were some other issues with Oracle shared memory, but we finally resolved those as well. In other words, 4GB is alive and well and in production on our web site right now. Id expect a writeup in the linux journal in a couple of months on exactly how we accomplished this and implications.
