Dpek@lemmy.zip 1 week agoIt had reminded me of my old laptop which wouldnt boot if it had more then 4 gb of ram
It may have been 32 bit (dont remember the exact model and no longer have it) or it may have been due to mismatched sticks

4GB is the 32-bit address space. You could be right. My thought was that there wasn’t really a technical reason to not boot with more RAM than is addressable, but it’s certainly possible that BIOS/firmware or even the OS treated it as a fatal error.
