Hi >From /proc/meminfo & top & dmesg, our 64-bit hardware showed only a total of 3GB RAM. Physically 16GB RAM were inserted. Q1: Is top/dmesg/meminfo giving the right info or how to get RHEL 5.1 to fully utilize the 16GB Q2: Is 32 or 64 bit RHEL 5.x better at utilizing memory? The box hosts 7 Oracle instances Is there a lot of effort involved to upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit RHEL 5.1?
