Lisa, If you have a test box to try it on, you might try installing the 2.6 kernel, which supports up to 64Gig of RAM.

But my question to all of you is, has anyone run a large sga (over 2GB) on Linux without any serious problems and seen a performance increase? My specific case is to be able to run several hundred very busy connections concurrently in a data warehouse load. =20 Any horror stories or suggestions are appreciated.
