memory available to 64bit Fedora guest under 32bit XP host
Posted: 30. Mar 2010, 11:34
I have successfully installed a 64 bit Fedora 11 guest on a host machine (AMD64) running 32 bit Windows XP .
At the moment the host machine has 2 Gb ram installed and I've allocated 1 Gb to the guest, which all works well.
The host machine can hold a maximum of 4 Gb ram, so I was wondering if it's worth buying an extra 2 Gb for it.
I know that 32 bit Windows XP can't use all of the 4 Gb, but can the guest os use any of the ram that the host os can't use?
