I have never been forced to set it to 8GB on FreeBSD, but when I installed Solaris 8 x86 on the same hardware I had to add it. But thats now aprox 6 years ago. I dont think it will hurt to have them at 8GB and the 4GB is just a legacy for some OSes that doesnt know about boot devices larger than 4GB. Like some versions of DOS. /Bjorn On Fri, 4 May 2007, Rob Crommentuijn wrote: > I have installed 2 HP proliant servers with 6.2 (ML380G5 and ML370G3).
