Side question, for my own curiosity. Aren't 32 bit processors normally
limited to 4GB? Does Adv Server overcome this limitation somehow?

Thanks. This note on gtpcc was most helpful.

"It also supports up to 8 GB of memory with processors supporting
Intel's Physical Address Extensions. Combined with support for 8-way
SMP, enhanced large memory support assures that the most demanding
memory and processor intensive applications can be run on this server."
