No. I have a machine with 6GB in it waiting for finishing the PAE
tweaks.

Intel ppro, pentium2 and pentium3 has a maximum RAM of 64GB.  Pentium4 may
have more but I have not checked.

Not that this matters so much.  Machines with that much ram generally have
a goal of zero paging/swapping, period.  A cap sounds like a fine
compromise to me.

Cheers,
