I thought 32-bit limited the entire system to 4GB of memory (all processes + kernel), not just per process?
- ThatPlayer 4y agoThat wasn't really true with PAE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension Well that's the x86 extension, ARM has a similar extension called Large Physical Address Extension. As mentioned in that article, Windows limited it to 4GB if you weren't running Server Enterprise, but Linux generally has it enabled by default.
