but each process still can only address 4Gig of memory less the amount of memory under 4Gig the kernel is using. If you wanted a single app to use more than 4Gig, at this point you would need to create several processes that share memory. Even this this is very specific to the application as to whether such a scheme could be used effectively (you would in effect be shuffling data around processes as needed).
Does anyone know of any other solutions than PAE?
A 64bit system.
There really isnt a way to go beyond PAE type approaches without madness and keep x86-32 behaviour. Intel didn't do PAE solely to be annoying, its a real limitation and aspects of it hurt kernel performance too
