<DIV>I'm starting to build up one of my new servers (a Quad 6-core box with
64GB of ram). Has anyone ever worked on a linux box this big that has
any advice on gotchas that might get me due to the massive number of CPU's and
RAM. I'm running 64 bit centos 5.3 and it seems to be working fantastic
... almost too easy :)</DIV>
