looking for linux to handle 8gb - 32gb ram

WOW , sorry , I can't help you there but ... I even haven't a clue that you can have more then 4 gb ram ... not mention 32 gb ram :) . Well I think that every linux is good at it ( just guesing ) though they are beter to use on older PC .Bbut if you do some research you may find it out :) Btw ,why you don't use Windows Vista or something ? because if there are something so powerful then Microsoft is the first one that will try to handle it :P OK , I think I know the answer - you will have to pay much for it and it won't work better then Linux :P OK ,sorry for not answering your question ... P.S. how much you think spend on making such powerlfull PC ? I don't know how much RAM model you can to add PC but I think you will add atleast two so it sounds very expensive .

In order to use all 32 GB of ram in Windows you'll need a 64 bit system. XP Pro 64-bit and Vista 64-bit both allow up to 32 GB of ram. With Linux I would still recommend a 64 bit system. try Sidux or Sabayon Linux both have 64-bit system and are easy to install and run. Both also have live CDs available for download.

What if Bill Gates had a nickle for every time a Windows computer crashes... OH WAIT, he does!!!

well ppl im back its been a long long while. in my time away making my pc i have distroyed 3 mobo's 2 towers and 4 gb of ram but its all been worth it X i hope X. ok heres some filling info, mac is worthless to me because i would have had to buy the mac pro starting at £1000 and double that for the 32gb of ram i wanted. talked with microsoft about my os requirments and they pointed out what snowman and Corleone stated that vista 64 will run it np. (they didnt wana talk about xp) so i "borrowed" a copy of vista64 and left it to the side for later. i also got hold of ubuntu, fedora and suse 64 bit versions and left them to the side. ok so vista64, amzing even after having 8gb of ram installed and duel ddr2 sli 1gb gfx cards installed 1tb hdd duel core 2.4ghz it still said my build was 4 stars. vista ran ok but was jumpy from time to time this problem was sorted out by removing main vent fan and replacing with 4 x 4x4cm fans my god i needed a fans for the fans lol. ubuntu did not load when i put more that 8gb of ram in not sure why but with the 8gb it was a dream michine some problems with the sli system so ran a single gfx wich to be honest is powerfull enough.start time was alot faster but with 8gb thats what i would expect. fedora just kept crashing out on me untill i was on 4gb of ram might have been something i did but not sure 4gb was its max on mine. n(mybe it needed some manual tweeking) sus now this is a dream as far as im concerned ran all 8gb i installed no issues no problems with anything except the sli, im not sure if this is a common thing with linux as i have not checked. im tempted to to realy put all 32 gb of ram in but as i stated above the first time i tryed it i had accidents. anyhoo i will be back asap with mini clips of the pc with all / max ram in and working screen wioth pc specs on so you can have a look and see what you think.

what is sus?? sorry noob
