Yes, I suppose in a 32 bit distribution you have that problem.
Re: LMDE 32 bit limited RAM support?
a 32 bit Windows O/S will only see about 3.12Gb ram.
but a 32 bit Linux O/S should see about 3.37Gb ram.
- that's with a non-pae kernel.

No (*). Your hardware does (BIOS/motherboard) regarding the 3GB "barrier".finnbakk wrote:Does LMDE 32 bit distro have limited RAM support?
(*) a 32bit kernel can manage up to 64GB of RAM (with PAE - LMDE uses PAE)

No true! LMDE can use PAE but it's not the default kernel.eanfrid wrote: (*) a 32bit kernel can manage up to 64GB of RAM (with PAE - LMDE uses PAE)
Nevertheless, if you have more than 1Gb of RAM, go for 64 bits...

You do not have to install 64-bit. After installing Mint 32-bit, use the package manager to install the PAE 686 version of the kernel.Do I hvae to intall the 64 bit version to solve tthis problem?
