October 20, 201114 yr I want to use more RAM for VM and other stuff how many VMs can you run on 4GB? Um... unRAID will see more than 4GB of RAM as it is now. I have 8GB installed in my machine.
October 20, 201114 yr Author really??? I am sorry but I am comming from hard core windows guy and windows only see 4GB in 32bit version so please do educate me what is the max RAM that Linux(and specifically unRaid) can see. that would make my MB choice more easier, as right now I picked on that can handle up to 32GB but was thinking that it just silly.

More than 32GB google PAE
October 21, 201114 yr I am sorry but I am comming from hard core windows guy and windows only see 4GB in 32bit version A bit off-topic, but that's only a limitation imposed by Microsoft and by poor driver implementations. It is technically possible, using PAE, to have 8GB or more usable in a 32 bit Windows environment.
October 21, 201114 yr Author well as far as I know, you have to jump through hoops to get 32 bit windows to use more then 4Gb of RAM so I applied this to unRaid (silly me :-) )
October 21, 201114 yr And if you absolutely must have unRAID 64bit, a few of us have managed it. There's a thread or two around here with the steps needed to do so too. Even though it's a bit dated as I created it back in the Slackware 13.0 / 13.1 timeframe, it's still applicable even when using Slackware 13.37. http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=5639.0 The basic jist is to get Slackware 64bit installed and working first. Then install the Slackware MultiLib packages which sets up most of the environment for 32bit applications. Then install unRAID on Slackware. Then the last step is copy additionally needed 32bit libs into the the environment.
November 4, 201114 yr Author I do not care if it is 16 bit as long as it can use all RAM I can afford to drop in it if/when needed. :o :o :o
