Memory Question

[Vito Sarducci]

I was told that running 32bit 11.0 OS does not use more then 3.75GB of physical memory no matter how you slice and dice it (sorry for the SUN pun)?

Is this a correct statement?
Does 32bit vs 64bit 11.0 use of memory differ?

Please advise?

Thanks,

Vito

Q: Can 32-bit applications access more than 4 GB on 11.00 PA8xxx systems?
A: NO! Although more than 4 GB memory can be installed in these systems, less than 4 GB memory is addressable by 32-bit applications on 32-bit 11.00 systems. Installing more than 4 GB memory on 32-bit 11.00 systems would be wasteful. Only 64-bit applications on 64-bit 11.00 HP-UX systems can access more than 4 GB memory.
