Hi, I've read that you can run a 64bit guest OS on a 32bit host OS through virtualisation (if the CPU/BIOS supports it etc...).
Now I ask myself: How many RAM can the guest OS use/allocate? (assuming 4GB+ RAM)
Thanks in advance.

Multiple 64-bit versions (Kubuntu, Lubuntu and Xubuntu) once installed on my ThinkPad R60 show 3GB of RAM, not the correct 4GB of RAM. Last week with 13.04, I had 4GB of RAM (which matches the BIOS) and this week I have 3GB available. Inquiring minds want to know. Details follow:
Linux R60 3.11.0-12-generic…

I managed to successfully install VMWare Workstation 6.5.5 (64-bit) on Ubuntu 10.04 (64-bit). It works well and somehow feels faster and snappier than the same exact version on Ubuntu 8.04.

I read on Wikipedia that Windows 7 on a 64-bit PC needs twice as much RAM as on a 32-bit PC.
I understand why is that: every number stored in memory takes 8 bytes rather than just 4.
