Your statement is very judgmental and a week after the fact.


You may not have read completely what I wrote:

"If your system is 64 bit, it could be that something is still limiting 
it to using 32 bit memory addressing. "

I offered what information I knew.  He might have already known it all, 
but then he might not have.  I didn't presume that my information about 
32 bit systems would solve his problems.  I only thought that if I 
offered what I knew that it might trip his mind on what was actually the 
problem.

And his problem was a 32 bit one.

read the thread - he didn't have 'big' memory compiled into the kernel.
