To use 8 gigs of ram, run the amd64 distribution.

The "r3" of the 2950 that Dell will sell you on Monday is the PERC6,
which is the same as the PREC5, but you'll want to run 6.3 or newer for
an up-to-date mfi(4).

Don't waste your money on the DRAC5, its about as useful as an asshole
on your elbow.
