I have two Gentoo systems (2.6.x) one with 4G and another with 8G. Both systems are are wicked fast. On the 4G `free` shows all but 21K of physical used, on the 8G there's still 2G free and the system is highly responsive. Can't remember which MB chipset I have, sorry. multiple Intel multicore cpu in both.
