I can plug up to 4GB of 1GB modules into it right now (should I want to spend 
that much on RAM), with no special memory required.

Do you actually have 8GB in it, or is this something they simply claim they 
"support?" How many DIMM slots does it have?

Last I checked, the Xeon had a 32 bit address bus. How are they addressing more 
than 2BG of RAM?

I'm not being argumentative; I really want to know. From looking at the pages 
CH Ling cited, it seemed to me that they were either faking it, or were willing 
to supply you with specialty (expensive) RAM.
