Is Sophos Firewall 32bit?

I know it probably isn't since the home license allows 6GB ram.. But anyway here is my problem.

I have an SG105 rev 2 which i have installed XG on with the Hardware Appliance iso.. The thing is that it's running with 80% memory use all the time, so i wanted to upgrade the memory.. The Intel Atom E3826 supports up to 8GB ram.. So I removed the preinstalled 2GB module and installed a 8GB DDR3L module.. The BIOS sees that it has 8GB installed... However the XG only sees 3GB which made me think if theres some kind of check in the Hardware installation iso that checks Appliance Model and chooses 32bit for appliances that comes with less than 4GB of ram..

I could prove my point if tried installing XG on my SG125 rev 2 which comes pre-installed with 4GB ram.. But i guess it's easier to ask here first! [:D]

  • Well It Turns out that i was right.. It's only running on a 32bit kernel..

    So now i just have to prove my point that the installer looks at the appliance model and then chooses either a 32bit og 64bit kernel for it.. So next step will be to install SFOS on my SG125 which is born with 4GB ram.

  • , What would even be the business case for auto-selecting only 32bit over 64bit?

    As shown above and definitely proven by the well known 3GB hard limit for 32-bit, Kenneth's machine is 32bit OS.
