how many rams ubuntu can handle?

[007casper]

windows cant handle anything over 4 gig ram. What about ubuntu?

If I stick 8 gig ram to intel board, would run as 8 gig, or it will just cap out on 3 gig like windows.

Linux can use the PAE extensions on the Pentium IV and later. I suggest using the 64-bit versions as 64-bit programs are increasingly common.

Windows x64 can also use 18EB of memory if you can afford it and a CPU can see that much.

Beans aren't awarded, they're based on # of posts, and have no other value.
