If I compile the kernel with 64GB instead of 4GB on a 32-bit system that would allow me to use more than 4GB of physical RAM. Is my understanding correct?
I have seen earlier that 64-bit does not improve performance very much over 32-bit. My main interest in building a 64-bit system is to be able to access more physical RAM. Will I be able to accomplish my objective with the 64GB switch instead of the 4GB switch in the kernel configuration? Is there any other advantage to using a 64-bit system instead of a 32-bit system? -- If we can but prevent the government from wasting the labours of the people, under the pretence of taking care of them, they must become happy. - Thomas Jefferson -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
