Thanks for your reply.
No. The intel cpus really don't cope very well with a situation where
process+physicalmemory > 4Gig.
Are there any plans to support more than 2G RAM or more than 3G processes on
Linux/IA-32 at some point in the future?
If you need 4Gig processes get an Alpha, and you'll be a far happier man
Ah... It should only be so simple. If all I needed to run was shells, editors,
web browsers, and gcc that would be fine. But there is software that I need to
run that isn't supported on Linux/Alpha. Like ESPS, Matlab, Maple, ACL,
Lispworks, CMUCL, Chez, Gambit-C, Scheme->C, Bigloo, SML/NJ, ...
Are there any vendors that sell SMP Alphas? Does Linux support SMP on Alphas?
What is the maximum amount of RAM, maximum amount of swap, and maximum address
space per process on Linux/Alpha?
