CentOS - Nov 2010 - CENTOS 5 (X86 32 bits) only support 16 Gb RAM???

I would like confirm one thing.  Based on what I saw Redhat document before,
look like CENTOS 5 (X86, 32 bits) only support 16 GB RAM.

Is this correct?

Thanks.

Eh? How can you have 16GBs on a 32bit kernel?

Yes.  I believe if you have more than 16 GB of RAM then it is recommended to use
x86_64.

Don't forget your 32 bit apps which most certainly are stuck at 4GB  
regardless of PAE or not.

Actually, most 32 bit apps I've used address only up to 2GB.

Hence why you should really go for a 64 bit kernel.
