From what I've been able to gather I think this only applicable to amd64. You might have a different reason for wanting to know this, but I can assure you my lockups aren't due to a lack of memory from the host anyways. I have an order of magnitude more free memory(according to top) in my hosts than my VM requires when it's running and it still locks on every csup attempt. Mem: 112M Active, 12M Inact, 1543M Wired, 632K Cache, 2245M Free VM is set to use 256MB. -- Adam Vande More
