A client is insisting to install CentOS 6.2 32 bit version [1] on a system with 4GB RAM.
Lately, I have done 64 bit installations only; not sure if the 32 bit kernel supports pae for >= 4GB RAM.
If anyone knows the answer please let me know (will save me time on an installation in my setup).
[1] The Client's ERP vendor has validated the application on the 32 bit platform only thus the reason for 32 bit version.
Thanks, -- Arun Khan

the client should find a ERP vendor who's not stuck back in the 90s.

Agreed, I pointed it out to client but I am not the one who selected the ERP vendor for them; sometimes one has to choose which battles to fight.
