Thanks for your quick response. I am assuming that this 4 GB between physical and swap. Does this also hold true for the Alpha systems? If not, how current is the alpha support? Is it roughly the same level of support as the x86 platform? Thanks again, Brian -----Original Message----- >Hello, > >What is the maximum amount of physical memory supported by 4.0?

Going beyond that requires majors changes to device drives and the VM system. -DG David Greenman Co-founder, The FreeBSD Project - http://www.freebsd.org Creator of high-performance Internet servers - http://www.terasolutions.com Pave the road of life with opportunities.
