Default installation of Linux on machines having 8+ GB Mem

I have to install "SUSE Linux Enterprise10 SP1 x86", on two different machines having 8 GB and 16 GB memory respectively

Possible ? Any Additional Steps ? Since I have heard that more then 4 GB of Mem is not supported on x86

and also what about rhel 4/5 ?

Regards

Most linux distro can support upto 64 GB or more.. all you have to do is install SMP kernel.
