RSA 64-bit
OK so I have a number of questions regarding RSA's. We currently have about 40 of them setup on Vmware Server 2.0 on 64-bit Server 2008 R2 with 8GB RAM.
So booting the RSA in that VMserver will only address 4GB for the RSA we would like to have up 6 or 7 allocated to the VM to allow it to connect more machines at once.
1) What VM product is 64-bit and is free like VMware server (we were advised to use VM server by kbox becuse it's free which is fine) but obviously VMserver is a 32-bit application so it cannot allocate more than 4GB RAM to the VM.
2) If the version of FreeBSD that the RSA is built on is 64-bit is it possible to simply image my host box with VM image and running FreeBSD as the host os, similar to the KBOX2000

You can run whatever host OS you want - the client OS doesn't care. If you want a 64-bit VM platform, you should try ESXi - it is free and that is what we use for our VKBOXs. You'll get better performance with ESXi than you would running a "full" OS such as FreeBSD or Windows as a host.

Got one of my RSAs ported over to esxi server without too many issues it's working properly however the issue I was hoping to resolve was the fact the RSA OS (FreeBSD) will only address 4GB Ram when we have 8GB available. After looking at the RSA OS I noticed it's FreeBSD/i386 so I assume that means it's a 32-bit guest OS
I know it's a longshot but there doesn't happen to be a 64-bit version of the Extender that will address more than 4GB RAM?
Basically we are trying to connect ~25-30 machines at a time to an RSA and it's capping out at 20. and the only thing that is maxed out on the box is the RAM, network throughput is only 4-500MB so we know it isn't that.
So then is there a way to improve the performance of the RSA with regards to memory allocation?

There is only a 32bit version of the RSA available at this time.
