Hi,

It would seem that some need a architecture refresher. Intel's IA-32
processors have the following specifications:

Virtual Addr. Space 64 Terabytes

Physical Addr. Space 64 Gigabytes

Memory Cache-able Addr. Space 4 Gigabytes

In conclusion, both of you were right. It was just misinterpreted. Now
whether or not Linux supports these limits is a DIFFERENT question entirely.

My 0.02 cents (and change).

Troy
