Hi

Very strange. I have a Dell Precision T7500 with 48GB of memory and 
CentOS-5.4 finds everything:
kalyke (Linux)$ uname -rm; free
2.6.18-164.6.1.el5 x86_64
              total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:      49453972   48273592    1180380          0     219116   41775056
