The more highmem exists the more memory pressure can be expected in lowmem.
This will result in sudden short-living performance decrease or memory initializing failures.
With SuSE kernels the OOM killer will be invoked before total memory isused up.
For more than 8 GB RAM use a 64 bit kernel!

CORE(5) BSD File Formats Manual CORE(5)
NAME
core -- memory image file format
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/param.h>
DESCRIPTION
A small number of signals which cause abnormal termination of a process also cause a record of the process's in-core state to be written to
disk for later examination by one of the available debuggers. (See sigaction(2).) This memory image is written to a file named by default
core.pid, where pid is the process ID of the process, in the /cores directory, provided the terminated process had write permission in the
directory, and the directory existed.
The maximum size of a core file is limited by setrlimit(2). Files which would be larger than the limit are not created.
The core file consists of the Mach-O(5) header as described in the <mach-o/loader.h> file. The remainder of the core file consists of vari-
ous sections described in the Mach-O(5) header.
NOTE
Core dumps are disabled by default under Darwin/Mac OS X. To re-enable core dumps, a privileged user must do one of the following
* Edit /etc/launchd.conf or $HOME/.launchd.conf and add a line specifying the limit limit core unlimited
* A privileged user can also enable cores with launchctl limit core unlimited
* A privileged user can also enable core files by using ulimit(1) or limit(1) depending upon the shell.
