Kernel space: How to use a terabyte of RAM
,----[ Quote
| An experimental new design for Linux's virtual memory system would turn a
| large amount of system RAM into a fast RAM disk with automatic sync to
| magnetic media.
|
| We have not yet reached a point where systems - even high-end boxes - come
| with a terabyte of installed memory. But products like those from Violin
| Memory make it clear that the day is coming; one can buy a Violin box with
| 500GB in it now.

| If you right click on "My Computer" and go to properties, it will show the
| amount of RAM that your computer can see. This is perfectly fine, but
| sometimes the ignorant consumer buys 4GB of RAM, and thinks there is a
| problem when their OS only reports 3GB.
| So, what does the richest company in the world do about it?
| Fix the problem at the core?
| Enforce manufacturers to use 64bit?
| nope. They just have their OS lie about it.
