[BALUG-Talk] Accessing 128GB of RAM

[Jeffrey Siegal]

What kind of CPUs are these?  If they're Intel/AMD, then a quad core  
processor supports 64 bit, and a 32 bit processor can only support (I  
think) up to 64 GB using PAE, but that can be quite slow.  You are  
much better off running in 64 bit mode.  For other types of CPUs the  
issues may be different.
