The maximum amount of RAM that the 2.4 kernel can map is 64GB. It is
important to recognize that when you add more memory, the kernel memory
map grows larger so you will not actually get 64GB of system-usable RAM.
For example, my box with 8GB shows the following from a 'free' command:
[root@testbox ~]# free
total used free shared buffers
cached
Mem: 7730208 7003268 726940 0 51440
5836000
-/+ buffers/cache: 1115828 6614380
Swap: 8192960 36596 8156364
About 600MB is used to map out what's in memory. This confused me
initially, so I just wanted to give you a heads up.
Regards,
Andy.
