Ubuntu

HighMemory Support

Asked by sangprabv

Hi,
I plan to buy a Dell PE2950 III, with 16GB memory, QuadCore processor. Does Ubuntu automatically identify the whole memory? And does Ubuntu also automatically optimize all things? Need help soon. TIA

Willy

if its a 64-bit cpu it will automatically enable all the memory and will not need optimizing.

yes and use a 64 bit version of ubuntu as the 64 bit ubuntu supports > 4GB of Ram and 32bit only supports upto 4GB RAM FYI and use the latest ubuntu version i.e 8.04 aka hardy heron which has both 32bit and 64bit support

Thanks all for the quick reply. I have some other questions. Does Ubuntu Server edition is a stable distro for a heavy duty server? Especially for LAMP configuration. Because there will be more than 1 million requests or data to be stored per day. TIA.

wikipedia just switched over to ubuntu, it supposidly handles 50,000 requests a second. ubuntu server edition is very much stable and able to work as a heavy duty server
