64GB RAM Under 64-bit Linux?

Posted by Cliff on from the now-that's-a-lotta-bits dept.

gary.flake asks: "My group at NECI is in need of a machine that can address 64GB of ram in a single process. This means we need 64-bit addressing. We'd prefer to go with a Linux solution because all of our development is under Linux. We've spec'ed out some reasonable machines (Dell can do 32GB, and Compaq can do 64GB) but they seem to be lacking in that they can only be loaded up with 4 x 800Mhz Itaniums. We would really like to have more processing power (2 Ghz x 4 would be a dream). Does anyone know of any monster Itanium machines that will meet our needs? (Please, no Alphas). Finding such a beast is harder than you'd think."

    The Cars - Magic

    Summer turns me upside down
    Summer summer summer
    It's like a merry-go-round
    I see you under the midnight
    All shackles and bows

    High shoes with the cleats a-clickin'
    a tempermental glow

    How far will you take it
    Well no one knows
    Don't let me go
    I got a hold on you tonight

    CHORUS
    Oh oh it's magic
    When I'm with you
    Oh oh it's magic
    You know it's true
    Got a hold on you

    Twisted under sideways down
    I know you're getting twisted
    And you can't calm down
    I see you under the midnight
    Love darts in your eyes
    How far can you take it
    Till you realize
    There's magic in your eyes
    CHORUS
