Afaik that results in a bit slower access to memory and appart from being able to address MUCH more memory doesn't change the situation. Perhaps I missed something. And updating to 64 Bit kernel also implies changing the userland, so a reinstall would be necessary, wouldn't it? > I believe there are > some cases where low memory can be pretty easily exhausted on machines with > lots of high memory. Some minutes ago the third machine of that type freezed. with 7 GiB of *free* memory, before getting oom+panic. The thing that looks pretty the same is that the inode table / open inodes shrinked very heavy from 41k to about 2k before the freeze in about 3 days. Same kernel, same Dell 1955 hardware, different machine. Is it possible to debug this issue somehow?
