I hope I have 64-bit stuff before I get too far into OSdev so I can map my kernel to 16384 peta bytes :P. rofl, maybe if we just get 48-bit or something, it'll be ok :D. that's about 256 tera bytes :D.

Cheers, DH.
except 64bit doesn't allow the full 16 exabyte virtual address space

640k should be enough for everyone...
