Greetings,
Optreon is not really a necessity AFAIK Kernel 2.4 onwards support large RAM with Intel PAE
The PAE extensions allow up to a maximum of 64GB of RAM that the OS can address.
Correct me if I am wrong.

Thats an issue, you could look at a 64-Bit platform such as AMD Opteron if you really need so much of RAM.
16GB just for a proxy seems overkill to me. Is this RAM figure derived
Correct me if I'm wrong, but 16GB RAM isn't even addressable on a 32bit machine. 32bit address bus == 2^32bytes of addressable memory == 4GB of addressable memory MAX. This includes RAM + Swap.
