On Win32, something like 3GB. Maybe a little more on Linux32, but there's a physical limit at 4GB. On Linux 64, the motherboards set the limit in practice, 32GB systems have been reported working and I think at least 64GB should be possible. I seem to recall that the maximum _virtual_ memory is not quite 2^64, but it will be pretty huge (2^48, 256TB)?. -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Øster Farimagsgade 5, Entr.B c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics PO Box 2099, 1014 Cph.
