Hi Valtam
Going 32bit crossed my mind. I've 8GB ram on the basis I might need to run Virtual Box if Wine proved not viable with my key Windows apps.
As I understand it, to use 32bit Linux and make use of > 4GB, I need a PAE enabled hardware and OS. According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Ad...sion#Linux "Ubuntu (and derivatives like Linux Mint), have stopped distributing non-PAE kernels - thus making PAE hardware mandatory." That implies my hardware Asus A88XM-Plus + AMD 5300 support PAE.
Do you see any problems using 32bit LL with VB and using all 8GB? - presumably both LL and VB get to use a max of 4GB each.
