Thank Andy! my cpu is 32bit i have thought pae can support more than 4G memorybut in fact it can't use full 4G memory hardware $ cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 28 model name : Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU N280 @ 1.66GHz

It’s bios/chipset dependent. Example: the Intel 945 will not allow more than 3.25GB or so regardless if PAE is used. However, the Intel 965 chipset will provide the full 4GB if used with PAE enabled and the BIOS allows it by default or has a ‘remap’ option. On Mon, Aug 2, 2021 at 7:15 PM wrote:
