Hi, 1) As far as I understand the 3G / 1G split of the kernel is in virtual address space, and the Highmem / lowmem concept is in physical address space. So I just want to know that if I change the memory split (from 3g/1g to 2g/2g), then will my ZONE_NORMAL also be expanded to be (896M + 1G)? 2) Are there any disadvantages (other than the user applications having to limit themselves to 2G of memory) of increasing the memory split to 2G? 3) And finally, in order to complete this change and to ensure my applications are awrae of it and are doing the needful to restrict themselves in only 2G, do I also need to make changes in the glibc or the gcc?
