hello -- 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. is he just spreading fud? does anyone here have experience and/or documentation that *nix 1.4+ java can use more than 3.8GB of ram? i just cringe when i see us purchasing super expensive quad itanium-2 boxes when our own in-house testing had our 2-way suse/opteron box out-performing a 4-way itanium(1) machine by 10%+. again, appologies if this would be better suited on the blackdown.org mailing list. info appriciated, -- john
