So the question for support of more than 4GB by the HAIKU OS is about

Where were you when Bill Gates told the world that 640 kB of RAM was
enough for everyone?


Except 4GB *should* be enough for anyone. I'm not expecting any
applications that could use over 4GB on Haiku before R1 is out.

My Linux machine has 6GB ram... and I have trouble filling that even
with multiple virtual machines spun up.

Anyway, the logic above is why there hasn't been a lot of x86_64 work
thus far. Which rounds me out to my original point.. if you need it, code 
it. :)   I'm the first to note that multiple architecture support is
positive on a healthy project, it keeps everyone writing portable code.

Just look at my PowerPC code and the number of people while roll their
eyes every time I make commit to openfirmware/* :P
