Without PAE (36-bit), then of course the limit is 32-bit addressing. You're right that 4G is not that expensive, but only certain workloads can actually use this much memory. If your working set is only 256M, but you often do other work with different working sets, this is a good candidate for disk swap. Since you only use the one working set at a time, you really don't need to fit all of your working sets in core at once and you are just wasting money. Disk is still MUCH cheaper than fast memory. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
