I have read somewhere on this list (around september) that it might be possible to configure BIOS to make more memory visible, although a couple of 100 megs will be lost, which is OK. We'll see how it goes, I'll have a similar machine delivered soon, that I can make some tests on. If I need more memory, I can go amd64 on the machine (it is an EMT64), but that might give me some troubles with Java, since the 1.5 JVM is only alpha at this time. Or PAE, perhaps, but that removes many device drivers...
