I know thatt the 32 bit windows version only lets me use 2Gigs, but some linux distributions let me use more in a 32 bit enviroment if I have the right processor. Ubuntu is one example and I think Suse. I don't know about the others. I am wondering if Maxwell would be able ot use all that ram if I have it. Of course the ideal would be to have a Linux 64 bit version

agree, but for info: the amount of memory to use is defined in the kernel, with some settings you can change, i think linux take the work for his own...

BTW, no mater is you are under 32bit or 64bit you need the kernel well compiled for it to work flowless... it is totally distribution independant as you can rebuild you kernel in each one of them
