You guys are getting a little off track. The comment was no CPU today can
address 64 bits of physical RAM, which I don't believe is true. You guys are
trying to go and explain why you don't think it's practical but the question
wasn't whether it's practical or not. And I don't believe z/Arch uses DIMMs
anyway so this comment is anyway not a response to Glenn's comment on my
disagreement with the statement that it's not possible to address 64 bits of
physical memory with any current CPU. It certainly is possible to do that on
z/Arch and probably others. From a practical standpoing there's no point
arguing with me since I haven't seen any benefit to z/Arch over S/390. Just
more marketing baloney.
