64 gigs is what i heard

“64 gigs is what i heard”

Here’s a C language define straight out of a fairly recent linux kernel sources:

# define MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS 44

That’s for a 64bit processor - it can address memory using a 44 bit address. That number equates to 16 terabytes of physical memory. That should be enough for awhile :)

32 bit processors can address 4GB. Only Microsoft places the ~3GB limit in XP.

Another nice linux distro is Ubuntu Studio. http://ubuntustudio.org It has a ton of really cool multimedia apps bundled in with the distro.

Have fun :)
