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