I've been trying to find the real nature of this memory limit. I have never experienced this limit, but the only time I've required a heap larger than a gig or so was at an old job, and I don't recall exactly what the deal was. The reading I've done so far on this subject leads me to believe that most people don't know what they heck they're talking about. Some claim that 32-bit OSs can't use more than 4GB RAM (they can) or that they have 2GB/2GB kernel and process memory boundaries (they don't, except that I think MS Windows might have this), or that the problem is that 32-bit OSs cannot allocate more than 2GB of contiguous memory (which may be true, but seems irrelevant, since the Java heap need not be contiguous). So, can you point me to a resource that actually explains what the "problem" is and why it exists?
