These limits don't exist in the open-source xen product, which is what
the centos/Xen stuff is based on.

I've personally run CentOS x86_64 5.1 boxes with north of 16G ram-
there is nothing I am aware of that would stop you from putting as much
ram as you want in a particular DomU.

You will be needing PAE, but that is default for CentOS i386/xen, so it
should Just Work.  make sure you install the libc6-xen package (should
be installed as a dependency.)  The usual PAE limits apply.

I'm typing this message in emacs running on a DomU hosted on an i386/ PAE box
with 6G ram running CentOS5.1/xen.


Hi Luke,

Thanks for the confirmation; this is what I had understood but some of the prior discussion scared me. :)

Regards,
Tom
