[SLUG] Kernel 2.4.19 and 8GB of memory?

I'm getting ready to build a monster. I've got an IBM x360 with four
2.0GHZ zeon MP's, with 8GB of memory. Does anybody know how much Memory
is Addressable by default with the 2.4.19 kernel?

I think I read that there is support for 36bit addressing, but is this a
patch or an option when I make the kernel? I'm going to be installing
RH 8.0 and then replacing with a generic kernel + a patch for SMP
control. Any body have experience in building large machines?

Thanks
