[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

What does "slow" mean? Has he benchmarked before and after? What is running slow? The apps performance, booting, compiling software, ...?

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
