Back on topic - is there any memory difference between 32-bit versions of SLED or openSUSE?
In other words, would one handle more memory than the other?
The factor kernel will now handle 4GB so I would say "no." Of course, if there's a need to access more than that, then the 64-bit release should be installed.
So - and I kind of got lost in the whole 32-bit vs. 64-bit thread - a 32-bit dual core processor should theoretically be able to handle 4GB in either openSUSE Factory or SLED?
Yes. But, there some MOB that don't have chipsets that will play nice in this regard.
Okay, I'll ask then. I have a co-worker who runs SLED on his laptop, which is the same as mine. I think he has 4GB.
I'm just wondering if it would be worth my while to buy another 2GB for my laptop. This would mostly be for virtualization as I like to allocate as much memory as possible to those - erm - lesser operating systems running in virtual machines.
I would assume all should be well. I haven't messed with virtualization because I just don't seen the need to do so. There's NOTHING MickySoft that I need to run, nor my clients need to run. It's my opinion that virtualization is a solution in search of a problem. MY opinion only, and is NOT intended to be anything else.
It has definite uses for me. I've been a VM geek ever since I first got my hands on VMWare. I - for example - have on VM running XP for those times I need it. I also am alpha testing openSUSE 11 under a VM. (Virtual Box) I am writing a program in Netbeans (Java) for my father-in-law and using a VM to test it. He belongs to the Cult of Mac so I need to make sure my app runs according to the the Ways of the Mac (tm). -- kai www.filesite.org || www.4thedadz.com || www.perfectreign.com remember - a turn signal is a statement, not a request -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
