Re: 32-bit vs AMD64 on Opteron for LAMP server

order. Of course, as far as the BIOS goes, if the machine supports more than 4 GB RAM, then the BIOS should as well. After all, why would someone manufacture a machine that can handle more than 4 GB RAM and then put in a BIOS that cannot? Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sánchez ht

Re: Problem creating 6TB partition...
