|It shouldn't be a problem, I've got a dual Opteron system with 16G of memory running SL x86_64 4.0 and it sees it all.  I'm fairly certain that 3.0.4 will not have a problem either.  Sometimes when you don't see all of the installed memory a few bios tweaks will fix it up.

RHEL supports 2 CPUs and "up to 16GB".  I suspect
that means up to 8GB *per CPU*. In the RH world,
they want you to buy AS if you need more.  I'm
guessing that SL is based on ES, not AS.

This is conjecture only; our dual Opteron systems
won't accept more than 8GB per processor, AFAIK.
We're running SL302.
