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.

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. > JB> 2. How much virtual memory is supported?

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. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
