An new architecture was brought in CPU (at pentium > II time?) that allowed OS to do a 4G/4G mapping in 32 bits mode. I don't think this has anything to do with hardware. Apparently, certain 32-bit versions of Solaris do not have this problem, and Java can use as much memory as any process. > So, 4G is the maximum memory any application can allocate in 32 bits > modes, be it at one time or in several operations. Right, but we're talking about a 2GB limit. > At least that's how i understood story. I only have 1G ram +1G swap, i > can't test, but it bet using a kernel 2.6 you can use 4G for your jvm...
