Hi All,
Thought I would let those that are interested know that I had success in running 24G on an Asus P6T with 24G kit of Kingston DDR3. While I was putting this together I saw lots of forum posts asking if anyone had tried it. Well we did here at our work and all looks great including running "memtest86" overnight.
I have a fluid dynamics simulation running on it with 90% memory usage and all looks great.
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 960 @ 3.20GHz MemTotal: 24676112 kB
Cheers,
Steve

Wow, pretty nice... 24G in a desktop :) Remember when 2M was a big deal??

Yes, but we were running CP/M, not Linux.

64K? You had that much? I remember when, as a b'day present, my CoCo got upgraded (violating its warranty) from 16k to 32k....

16 4x6" vector cards with 4K each of static memory, using Intel 2102, woooot! took weeks to sort out all the flaky connections and stabilize it, then it ran for a year or two without a glitch. I later replaced that array with 4 STD bus cards of 16k each using i2114's mostly to downsize the power supply and card cage.
and, yes, it ran CP/M, 1.4, then later 2.2

With ZCPR?
nope, was originally a 8080a 2Mhz, then later a 8085 5Mhz processor (more crusty neurons are blinking in with the obsolete knowledge that the upgrade to the 5Mhz 8085 was an important reason for the memory upgrade from 2102 to 2114.... the system ran 0 wait state). zcpr was Z80 specific, and came quite a bit later, I built the first gen circa 1977, and upgraded it to the 5Mhz 8085 circa 1979
anyways, we're *WAY* off topic here. sound like a bunch of geezers lamenting their old Ford flatheads while the kids go zooming off in their Subaru WRX's.

Hehe.. My Vic20 had 5K..Didn't do much with it though.. When I got my TI-99/4A things changed.. I loved that machine.
Before that, I ran CP/M on a Z80 card in Apple IIe's and Franklin Ace 1000s (??? forget the exact model). It ran Borland Turbo Pascal from a 5.25" floppy :)
Hell, this is what I love about Linux... Makes me feel just as I did back then... Except now I'm running POVRay and Blender, crunching data for 1000 stock symbols ever 30 minutes, serving a PDF library of 2000 books (searchable)... pretty cool :)
