That's down the the kernel in use. "dpkg -l |grep linux-image" might
help here. If you are using the -486 package I think you want the
-686 package (intel) or K7 (AMD) (assuming it's compatible), but you
_might_ need the 2.6-686-bigmem variant (4-64GB).
Not sure what 686 and K7 packages go up to memory wise.
Or you could run a 64-bit kernel and 32-bit userspace, but there can
be some wierd side effects.
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=446062 for example I
learnt only recently.
