Is there an Upper Limit for RAM in Opensuse? I just had a customer with
Opensuse 10.3 and 64 GB ! of RAM. he reported a extremely slow performance.
The computer used Xeon processsors (i don't know the exact motherboard) and
a single hard drive ( 2 GB Swap Partition). Its of course an 64-bit
Architecture.


What does "slow" mean? Has he benchmarked before and after?

What is running slow? The apps performance, booting, compiling software, ...?


The memory setup was 16 Slot x 4 GB module. Is there any blatant reason
(other then too much RAM) for this. I assume that it will be maybe a topic
for the future , thats why i am asking over the factory list?


Are all DIMMs the same?

Start small and then scale: start with 4 DIMMs, then 8 then 16.

What MoBo?
