I imagine you're wrong. I expect the base kernel does what the kernel+ variants have done in the past.


If thats the case...would 64-bit SL5 allow more per-process memory?

I expect you're right:-) I understand it's also quicker.

Especially if you add even more RAM. I've discovered one of my desktop supports 2 Gbyte DDR2, so it might get some on the "chuck 1 add 4" plan. Wouldn't work at all well with IA32.
