I have a question about the distribution of the virtual address space between 32 and 64 bit apps. This would affect the x86_64 kernel on AMD64 and the newer Intel processors, if I am correct.
Assumed I have about 8 GByte on board and load 64 bit apps first, then they will go into the first 4 GByte of the virtual address space meaning that I can't load any 32 bit apps, when only the upper 4 GByte are left free?
You don't need to worry. I think you're confusing virtual address space with physical address space. You could google for those terms, and memory mapping.
