You've got other constraints to worry about other than theoretical 64 bit CPU/OS maximums. Fist is power, second is space. You'll be hard pressed to find a laptop/notebook/whatever that will accept more than 8GB worth of SODIMMs any time soon, from any vendor. In another couple of years you may see laptops supporting up to 16GB as RAM manufacturers move to smaller transistor geometries. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
