Does anyone know the maximum amount of ram that can be ran on a redhat

I would think that all is okay, as the kernel is able to address all 16
gigs without any issue; free shows this:
total used free shared buffers

The hard part is not getting Redhat to see the memory. The hard part is
finding a motherboard that will let you put in more than 16gigs in it.
I have seen a few boards that would address more memory, but they were
AMD64 boards. (And Linux runs great on those as well.)
