I've got a dual Xeon. Here you are my cpuinfo. I've read the limit on a 2.6linux kernel is 4GB on user space and 4GB for kernel... that's why I asked if there's any way to reach 4GB per process.
Thanks anyway :( cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 15 model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU 5110 @ 1.60GHz stepping : 6 cpu MHz : 1596.192 cache size : 4096 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 2 core id : 0 cpu cores : 2 fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 10 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe nx lm constant_tsc pni monitor ds_cpl vmx tm2 cx16 xtpr lahf_lm bogomips : 3194.21 processor : 1 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 15 model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU 5110 @ 1.60GHz stepping : 6 cpu MHz : 1596.192 cache size : 4096 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 2 core id : 1 cpu cores : 2 fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 10 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe nx lm constant_tsc pni monitor ds_cpl vmx tm2 cx16 xtpr lahf_lm bogomips : 3192.09 processor : 2 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 15 model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU 5110 @ 1.60GHz stepping : 6 cpu MHz : 1596.192 cache size : 4096 KB physical id : 3 siblings : 2 core id : 0 cpu cores : 2 fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 10 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe nx lm constant_tsc pni monitor ds_cpl vmx tm2 cx16 xtpr lahf_lm bogomips : 3192.13 processor : 3 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 15 model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU 5110 @ 1.60GHz stepping : 6 cpu MHz : 1596.192 cache size : 4096 KB physical id : 3 siblings : 2 core id : 1 cpu cores : 2 fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 10 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe nx lm constant_tsc pni monitor ds_cpl vmx tm2 cx16 xtpr lahf_lm bogomips : 3192.12 On Nov 9, 2007 9:26 AM, Norberto Meijome <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Fri, 9 Nov 2007 09:03:01 -0300 > "Isart Montane" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > I've read there's a kernel limitation for a 32 bits architecture of 2Gb > > per process, and i just wanna know if anybody knows an alternative to > > get a new 64bits server. > > You don't say what CPU you have.
