The chipset limitation applies to 64bit mode as well as to 32bit mode (which actually does not have a 4GB limitation with PAE) -Andi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
