Also if you want to go for custom "hacks"..
Install 32bit CentOS 5, and then manually install 64bit kernel.
So all the userspace is 32bit, only the kernel is 64bit.
This allows you to use all the memory without problems.
You might have problems with some tools that need to talk
to the kernel.. iptables, open-iscsi, etc..
