Hello: I have a Supermicro SuperServer 5015P-TR. It has a Pentium D and is running CentOS x86_64. Can this machine use 8GB RAM? I think it should because it is running a 64 bit OS, but I am concerned because it is fundamentally 32 bit hardware. Anyone have any experience in this area?

Neil, I maintain a Dell PowerEdge 850 which has a Pentium D, exactly 8 GB of RAM, and runs CentOS x86_64. It should work fine as long as your motherboard supports that much RAM. Hope that helps.

I have a Asus mainboard which has 8GB of RAM and a Pentium D 3.2Ghz model 920. -- "It is human nature to think wisely and act in an absurd fashion."
