Novell LINUX ENTERPRISE SERVER 11 - DEPLOYMENT Deployment Manual page 22

Memory
A minimum of 1GB RAM per CPU socket is recommended.
Hard Disk Requirements
The disk requirements depend largely on the installation selected. Commonly, you
need more space than the installed software itself needs to have a system that works
properly. Minimal requirements for different selections are:

Boot Methods
Options for booting the computer depend on the available hardware. All boot
methods available to the machine should work. A special boot server is required
to use PXE boot over the network. This may also be set up with SUSE Linux En-
terprise Server.
2.2.3 Hardware for AMD64 and Intel 64
The AMD64 and Intel 64 architectures support the simple migration of x86 software
to 64 bits. Like the x86 architecture, they constitute a value-for-money alternative.
CPU
All CPUs available on the market to date are supported. This includes dual-core
CPUs.
Maximum Number of CPUs
The maximum number of CPUs supported by AMD64 and Intel 64 is 128.
Memory Requirements
A minimum of 512 MB of memory is required. Requirements depend on the appli-
cation. However, the minimum recommended is 1024 MB or 512 MB per CPU on
multiprocessor computers. The theoretical upper limit on the amount of memory
supported by the kernel is 512 GB.
