Gr> Ok, I thought the upper limit was 4GB for 32-bit distros, not 3GB.
remember that there's some address space that's reserved for the machine's
use...
Gr> Well if performance begins to suck, even tho swap isn't being used, would
Gr> that point to a lack of memory, or would it be something else?
it could be CPU contention or possibly waiting on the drives... running top
can generally show you these things... in top, i generally look to the "wa"
percentage... if it is above a few percent then the machine is waiting on the
drives... but generally speaking, it is likely CPU usage and tasks waiting on
servicing...
