I notice that the standard kernel now contains the 4G/4G patch and it is

thought there was ~20% performance penalty or something.

Actually, since the kernel is doing a context switch to access memory, everyone is getting the penalty, even if you have less than 900mb ram IIRC.


For your setup, unless you're running a huge oracle or db2 database, 2g/2g might be a good option for you.

But, you might just want to stick with 4g/4g unless you have some performance problems.
