I don't about any performance differences, but a 32bit machine has no problems utilising more than 2Gb of memory.
But a 32-bit machine does hit its physical RAM limit at 4GB,
AFAIK, it's the address space size that is 4Gb, not the physical RAM limit. Intel Pentium 32bit processors since around the PentiumPro have all had 36 address lines, so max 64Gb physical memory. For instance, I have a 32bit Compaq machine that is quite happy with its 5Gb physical RAM. /Per Jessen, Z�rich -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
