    This CAN be true. Usually is. If you don't want it then you
    recompile your kernel to get rid of the split, and use CONFIG_NOHIGHMEM

    There are three options. off, 4 giges and 64 giges. If you have or
    desire to use over 1 gige RAM but less than 4, choose 4 giges. 64 giges
    requires CPU's that have a feature called PAE which is Pentium Pro or
    better.

    man bootparam should tell you more. "mem= " is a dangerous option. I
    don't know if it is meant to work below one gige with CONFIG_NOHIGHMEM
    set to off.
