Not an entirely separate issue from the address bus width, however.
:-P
Just for fun, I looked at what this box tells me with lscpu and
cat-ting /proc/cpuinfo. The relevant lines in the reply are, for
lscpu,
CPU op-mode(s): 32-bit
which tells me that it can run OSses in 32-bit mode, I think. (We
could talk about data and address register width, but it's more to the
point to talk about OSses running in 32-bit mode.)
and, for cat /proc/info
address sizes : 34 bits physical, 32 bits virtual
which tells me I should be able to run PAE. (I am running PAE.)
And, if the motherboard had enough address lines, I should be able to
put in more than 2G of RAM, but the manual says just 2G. So, maybe
not.
Some things in there that might be worth a try if I had the time.
