[Wftl-lug] question on 4gigs of RAm

[Harry Holt]

Linux will not be a problem, but your Mobo and BIOS could be.  Some Mobos
that ostensibly "accepts" up to 4GB of ram won't actually supply more than
3.2GB to the OS.  For the Intel chipsets, IIRC, the 945 will not address all
of the memory, but the 965 does (not sure if I have these model numbers
correct).
