Changing server to Linux Question

So on a x32 windows system the max amount of memory a server can use is 1GB no matter how much you assign to it, because of Java. But is this the same on a x32 Linux(Ubuntu) system? Or would I be able to assign 2.5GB of ram to my server on my x32 Linux system. Because if that's true I want to start using Linux.

Is that possible?

 

I would take a guess and say no you can not assign more by using a linux system but I am not 100% sure. I thought it was more than 1 GB for 32 bit java though

Why do you not install 64 bit linux OS. You can do this so long as you have a compatible CPU in your computer which is pretty much every computer these days.

 

Yep. I washable to allocate my server 2500MB on 64-bit Ubuntu with no problems, and this is on a PC with a Pentium D, circa 2006
