linux on big memory

[Net Llama!]

does anyone have any experience running linux on big memory 
configurations (greater than 4GB)?  i'm going to need to upgrade a box 
to 8GB in the near future, and i was wondering if there were any special 
  considerations (other than builing a kernel with bigmem support)?
