Thanks for your answer. Does it mean that if it is a 64 bit kernel, it could use even 40 GB if the laptop has that much memory? Also, does it mean that a PAE kernel would use maximum of 64 GB of memory even if the laptop/ machine had 128 GB of memory?
I hope my queries are clear that
1) A 64 bit kernel would use even upto 40 GB of memory if I increased the laptop memory to 40 from 8 GB.
2) A PAE kernel would use only 64 GB of memory even if the laptop/machine had 128 GB of memory.
Request you to please revert.

Note: This is a non-destructive operation. Dirty objects are not freeable, hence; you must run sync beforehand.
