From: Eric Shubert > First off, I believe that the limit w/out PAE is 3G. This depends on how you've set up the kernelspace/userspace split. I believe the default kernel config is 3G/1G, but there are kernel options to make that 3.5G/0.5G, and possibly 3.8G/0.2G. Userspace stuff can't access the whole 4G because it needs to be able to call kernel routines. Changing the split may require recompiling the kernel, or just poking something into a file in /proc. I don't know; my home orkstation only has 1G.... > Alex Dean wrote: >> This has always confused me a bit, so it seems like a good time to ask. > You're not alone there. ;) Complicated stuff is confusing, and this is kind of complicated. -- Matt G / Dances With Crows The Crow202 Blog: http://crow202.org/wordpress/ There is no Darkness in Eternity/But only Light too dim for us to see --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
