FreeBSD Looking for People with Lots of RAM

drdink writes "A few weeks ago, PAE (Physical Address Extension) support was added to FreeBSD 5-CURRENT. This allows memory above 4GB to be used normally by the kernel and userland on the x86 platform. Jake Burkholder, the man behind PAE, is now looking for users to help him test this new feature. In his message to the freebsd-current mailing list, Jake describes the current caveats to PAE and also says 'We'd like this feature to be solid for 5.1-RELEASE, so I'm hoping there are people out there with systems with more than 4G of ram that are willing to test it.' This, along with other features make FreeBSD 5-STABLE look very promising."

Unless it is a x86 machine this is off topic.

Or you are just bragging, or you just dont understand why it only has a 60 GB HD. That HD is only for booting the machine(like an expensive floppy driv)e, For the real storeage you probably alredy have an san that containt all your terabytes of data.

I think this machine bas an powerpc cpu that alreay can run in 64 bit mode and adrress some terbyte of data.

To get more on topic....

if you had a beowulf cluster of these......Then you had bragging points.
