    I've been tasked with putting together a large memory
    system (~16 GB) for numerical simulations. I decided
    to check the status of the AMD64 and IA64 port on the
    status page (http://www.freebsd.org/news/status/status.html),
    but the last available status report is the Jan-Feb 2003
    report. I also searched the mailing list archives for
    the two platforms, but could not find the info that I
    was looking for. So, what is the status of the AMD64
    and IA64 ports; particularly in regards to large memory
    configurations (i.e, max memory per platform and max
    memory per process on the platform)?

I know that i386 is highly unrecommended for ZFS, but it's just a home box for testing and learning purposes - I just want to know what I'm doing and what should I expect when I decide to put ZFS on server machines:) Currently, from posts on freebsd-fs, I conclude that even with a gigs of kmem and using AMD64, we still can experience panic from kmem_malloc. ...
