I just got a new (old) machine with a P4 1.5Ghz and I bumped the memory to 1.25 Gig because 512M stick are so cheap (PC133 SD-RAM)
This is the first time I've dealt with a machine with over 768M memory and I noticed that it only recognizes 960M of the 1.25Gig I know that the Enterprise kernel supports the larger memory - but I have heard that there are stability problems with it. I have seen recommendations to stick with the standard Mandrake Kernel and forget the memory over the 960M mark. Could someone explain WHY does one need the enterprise kernel (with additional security features) for large memory? Where can I get a detailed list of differences between the regular Mandrake kernel and the Enterprise version? Will the stock Mandrake kernel eventually support more memory? I know Linux handles memory better than Winblows, but WinXP has no problem seeing the 1.25G . . . . Many thanks in advance, R.Fox
