Point 1:
Linux supports 64Gb on x86 (More memory than you should ever trust with
such a brain dead architecture. Seriously, if you have a machine this big,
get a real CPU)

2:
Linux supports more than 4 processors. I'm not sure how many exactly it
does support, but it runs on 8 way machines for definite.

3:
Benchmarks is benchmarks. They are not real.
