Thanks for the answers. I would like to give it a try, so what should be
the expected behaviour for the question 3, ie the maximum memory per
process. Currently I am working with 4.4 Release but I can upgrade to
4.5 RC if required, or even 5.0 branch.
Regards,
Jaideep Bhatia

There are some bugs that cause 4.4R to die if you put in 4Gb of real
memory. Hopefully, the fixes should all be in 4.5R.

If you mean total, it is indeed tera bytes.

I don't know if anyone has tried cranking things up that high, so
there may be - in fact, probably are - bugs lurking there.

As Oliver Fromme pointed out, this is all for the i386 architechture,
not anything else.
