So why is it in Debian 4 (etch) i can do this apt-get install linux-image-bigmem. And also in older versions of Ubuntu. Why is now that we are forced to use a 64bit kernel with workstation workloads and wrestle with flash ans skype and all those things.. Why not at least put a

Compiling kernel with PAE support indeed gives the 32-bit kernel ability to use 64 gigabytes of memory. However, single processes can still use only max 3 gigabytes. There will be 3-6% performance hit for memory operations. The worst part is that non-PAE supporting hardware will fail booting with

non-PAE supporting hardware will fail booting with the kernel Ouch, I admit that hurts. Especially for non-x64-hardware where you have no workaround in switching to the amd64 distro. I guest PAE cannot be loaded lateron or switched active with a kernel line parameter? So what's left is either

Sorry, but this is not technically possible - if it was it would have been implemented a long time ago. The only way to get 4GB ram support is to use a 64-bit OS. ** Changed in: ubuntu Status: New = Invalid -- Generic 32 bit kernel should be compiled with 64 GB memory support

Not at all impossible. The kernelconfig is: HIGMEM64G and HIGHMEM Ubuntu Server is compiled with both these flags but not the desktop version. Using more than 4 GB ram has NOTHING to do with 32 vs 63 bit OS. Sure, one process can use more than 4 GB ram but that is no big issue (yet). **

I just upgraded my memory to 4GB and am very disappointed that the kernel only recognizes 3GB. With cheap memory and the growing popularity of virtual machines, I think it is important that Ubuntu support the larger memory sizes. I am going to try the server version, but if it will not support
