But when your machine has 2Gb, you've yet to go into those models. So _why_ do _you_ not recommend more than 1Gb on x86? Just as Randall, I see no reason why one should not use e.g. 2 or 4Gb with an x86 processor. The performance hit is presumably that of going to a three-level address lookup when using PAE.
My point is, and continues to be, if you need more than 1GiB of memory in Linux (2GiB in NT), you should be running Linux/x86-64 on an AMD64 processor (and not EM64T). I fully agree. IMHO, Intel x86_64 systems (eg. EM64T) will not catch up to AMD for the remainder of this year though they do have some stuff in the
