That sucks. Is the T510 a 64 bit system? I don't think Linux is quite there on 64bit (although I haven't tried it myself yet).

  all intel x64 systems are capable of being 32 bit. also almost all non-netbook laptops are x64 systems now (and have been for many years). however, if you run 32 bit, you can address less RAM. so. have fun! :(

    You can address up to 64 GiB of RAM with a PAE kernel. Happens that a single process can't access more than 4 GiB of RAM. But in the end, how many people actually run a process that large on a notebook?

      > how many people actually run a process that large on a notebook? my primary computer is a notebook and I routinely run processes that large (vmware, mathematica, matlab, IDA, binnavi, my own programs, etc). "why do you run these programs on your laptop instead of sshing to a server somewhere?" sensitivity, responsiveness, I don't always have internet, the hardware can do it (8-16GB of RAM in a notebook is almost commonplace)

        What laptop are you using which supports 16gb of RAM? I'd love a portable computing juggernaut!

          Thinkpad w510. I think some of the Mac laptops might. I'm sure some other systems support it.
