Yes, my mobo's maxed out at 1G, although my CPU could handle twice that.
Alas, I'm not in the position to upgrade right now because of limited
funds and more urgent things to spend it on,

I agree fully with the sentiment that no x86_64 capable computer
should be running 32-bit code. Everybody

Is that why intel put a lot effort into creating the x32 ABI?
Actually, if you have less than 4GB RAM there is

I'm currently running a 32-bit Fedora 16 on a 64-bit capable system. I
intend to upgrade to a 64-bin install for Fedora 17.
My way of moving between releases is to install (from DVD),
reformatting / and /boot, leaving /home and /usr/local (which have
their own partitions) untouched.
