[wplug] questions and clarification regarding RAM upper limits

[Bryan J. Smith]

Everything you've wanted to know, and more, is covered in my aged
blog article "What is x86-64? "Long Mode" memory model ..."  

http://thebs413.blogspot.com/2005/10/what-is-x86-64-long-mode-memory-model.html

Read that and let me know if you have any follow-up questions (e.g.,
"why do I only get 3.6GiB?").
