If you use a kernel with the 4G-4G user-kernel space split patch, you
can get a full 4GB. To get more than that you will need to move to 64-bit.

Sorry to bother,
but what is the maximum amount of RAM that a *single* (!) process can
address under a Kernel version 2.6.13-15.7-smp, with
CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G=y
CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y
CONFIG_X86_PAE=y
It seems that I can not get over 3 Gig border, but i need to, to solve
my numerical problems :(.
Greetings Kai

I've heard of a kernel patch that gives you 3.5GB (leaving 0.5 for
the kernel) but you're not going to get any more than that without
buying a 64-bit machine or playing overlay tricks with mmap(). Given
the price and performance of 64-bit hardware, the former option is
probably a lot better.

get a 64 bit machine...
you can get upto 4Gb if you use a kernel with the 4g/4g patch (which is
mostly old FC2 kernels and RHEL4 kernels at this point, it's a dying
breed)
