What kind of hardware? A single process on a regular x86 machine can only access 4GB of virtual space, regardless of the amount of real memory you have, unless you use some of the OS-specific address extension mechanisms (which the JVM doesn't). If you have an AMD64 and the appropriate version of Linux, you could try the Sun 64-bit JVM (see the 5.0 Beta 3 download list). - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
