I will be using adobe creative suite 2 (soon upgrade to suite4) for my graphic design business. I would like to know how much memory does debian gnu/linux OS supports? I am currently using windows XP on a compaq presario and it only supports 4gb of memory(for 32 bit and 64 bit motherboards). The PC I am building has 8gb of memory using 4 corsair memory/ram cards to install. I like to weigh my options for an OS other than vista (business and ultimate supports 128gb of memory on 64 bit, DDR3 motherboard)? Any information you can give will be greatly appreciated!!
Linux apparently supports up to 64GB with HIGHMEM kernels:
