Very strange indeed since the real addressing range of a pentium 2 is 36 Gb
RAM. Strange if there would be something in the BeOS architecture that would
prohibit the use of more memory. Maybe it is just a problem with the BeOS
kernel that does not need to be reproduced in newos.
Otherwise this is probably because of an addressing scheme where something
vital needs to be at the (linear, physical, logical) address 1Gb. Then you
could split program space and start assigning memory again at 2Gb.

PS. just a few ideas, don't take this to be the case in BeOS.
