You will find that Debian *WILL* indeed support greater than 4GB. I have multiple machine with more than that. Debian (in fact many Dsitros do as well) supports it just fine, though a 64-bit machine and a 64-bit version (x86_64/amd64) is better equipped o utilize more than 4GB. > At any event, should the experience be negative, any > suggestion for another mainboard to support 2 dual > opterons and 16GB ram?
