Hello Mr.suseamd64,
i'm sorry if this is not the appropriate place for this question.
an hp loyalist has convinced some decision makers that we can't use opterons for an in house app because he claims there's no linux jvm that uses more than 3.8GB of memory. i couldn't find anything on the blackdown.org site backing this up, and couldn't find anything googling around.
He thinks there is still only 32bit Java for x86-64. That used to be true several months ago, but not anymore. You can download a 64bit JVM from the blackdown website. Sun also has a x86-64 JVM, but only in Beta. The JVM shipping with SuSE is 32bit so far. -andi
