It's true that 32bit systems can only address a maximum of 4GB of memory.
That's not to say that a system running a 32bit o/s
can physically contain only 4GB RAM. Solaris 2.6 is 32bit therefore it can
only address up to 4GB.

Subject: [SunHELP] Solaris 2.6 Memory Limitation



Hello Every one, 
Just recently some one on our project mentioned that the E10K  we have which
has 16Gig of memory running Solaris 2.6, has the limitation of only 4 gig on
the memory. Is that true with Solaris 2.6...?

TIA
