Hi to everyone,
I'm pretty new to this list but want to say that it's a great thing!
My question: I've got an openSuse 64 bit system running on C2D E4400, Intel
MB and 6 GB installed.
At startup th bios recognizes the RAM but my OS doesn't, it only sees 3.2
GB. Tried to find awnser to this on the www but only got more confused,
shouldn't a 64 bit OS be able to adress up to 16 exabites of ram?
Thanks for your time
If the kernel doesn't see more then 3.2 gigs of memory its neither 64bit nor
32bit with pae.
If the kernel sees the memory, the limit can only happen with 32bit userspace
apps.
Have fun,
Arnold
