Real (tm) operating systems, such as VMS, have done something
splitting the address space this for decades.

What OS were you running?


This is not an OS issue, the memory is made unavailable before the OS boots.

But for the record, dual boot Win XP x64 and Suse Linux 9.3 64-bit.

So what happens on a dual CPU opteron system with 8 memory slots
(and a 64 bit OS)?


That's what I'm wondering, as these systems support more than 4GB RAM
successfully.
