Memory space using a 32bit Java process on Redhat Linux

843829Jun 3 2007 — edited Jun 3 2007

I have a java process that I need a lot of memory for. Its a 32 bit process, and I have no desire to have it as 64bit due to the huge pointers it forces.
So I know I can turn to Solaris where I will have close to 4GB of memory available for this process (right?). But are there Linux alternatives? I am especially curious regarding Redhat on intel64 machines as I have (which is the common desktop hardware nowadays).
I heard about the hugemem kernel for Redhat, but I am lost understading its nature. It is said it is not available for v.5 for x86. So is it available for the intel64 processors as I have? And what is the max memory space for a java process?
Any other bit of information about java 32bit process running on a linux flavor on an intel64 machine will be greatly appreciated.

thanks in advance!
Woody
