Re: [Xen-users] Xen pae and 32G memory



I am 99% sure that the 32 (PAE) xen hypervisor has a hard-coded limit of 16 GB 
of RAM.  To be clear, that's a theoretical limit (much like 32 non-pae has a 
4GB limit) so you'll never get the full 16 GB even.  The only way to get access 
to all 32 GB is to run the 64-bit hypervisor.  Hope that helps.
