It can only address 4GB of physical address space, and some of that address space has to be used to provide access to PCI devices. It's common for a gigabyte or so to be reserved for that, which means that you get a maximum of 3GB. You'll need a more modern motherboard chipset if you want to support more. -- Matthew Garrett | mjg59@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
