Tenchusatsu, Though I wonder how you would respond to those who bring up the point that Xeon actually has an address width of 36 bits, meaning that Xeon can address up to 64 GB of memory. For example, there are 8-way Profusion-based Xeon platforms out there which can support up to 32 GB of SDRAM. So it can address 64GB, yet in reality the largest is 32GB and the most common Compaq Proliant 8500 only supports 16GB. I think you have made my point by yourself in that I expect Itanium machines to (in production systems) handle well over 16GB in the real world. The difference is theory versus practice.
