[opensuse-factory] Upper Limit RAM?
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. 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? Any help is appreciated. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Are all DIMMs the same? Start small and then scale: start with 4 DIMMs, then 8 then 16. What MoBo? Rafa -- "We cannot treat computers as Humans.

Well, My dual-xeon DL385-G5 with 24GB performs exactly the same as an DL360 with "only" 8GB. same speed, same performance. It can only hold much more DOM-u systems. (And *IF* it gets down hard, a lot of systems go down with it...) Only slow part of it is during mem-check in the bios ;-) So if any boundry/bottleneck exist, its beyond 24GB. (perhaps i should pester our purchase department again, system can hold 128GB) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
