Yes. Testing Haiku on professional workstations. We can use Haiku in lower RAM configurations so feel free to delay this task until after R1B3 release.

OK, so please post the error you are currently getting, or a syslog showing less RAM than the machine actually has.

Ok. I saw a "Can't support >512GB RAM" error condition.
Success (i.e. full desktop environment) with Haiku R1B2 on my HP Elite workstation.
Tested Haiku hrev54888 x86-64, but it doesn't initialize to the desktop icons - just the left-sided deskbar/Tracker. Seemed OK for Haiku hrev54881 x86-64.
All high thread (>=64) job requests, rendering/editing, and all tested Youtube-related 4K/8K video playback worked OK. WebPositive seems fine - even as I type this info with it.
Thanks. No work needed.

If you cannot test on such a system, and neither can we, there is not much point in opening a ticket about a problem that may be a ways off for us.

No. Haiku just doesn't use the extra memory beyond the watermark limit as expected.
You do have EC2 for such tests...
Do you have a machine to test with? Otherwise the ticket seems pretty useless. There will be no debug logs, etc, and we would rather not write code blindly without being able to test it in some way.
