crafterm's weblog: Enable High Memory Support!

Enable High Memory Support!

If your machine has more than 1gig of RAM and you're running linux don't forget to enable high memory support for 1-4 gig RAM machines. I just noticed that my new Dell was only using 1 of it's 2gig RAM (!)

Under Processor type and features, set (4GB) High Memory Support

Quick kernel recompile fixed this though :)

You're such a show-of f ;-)
ps. And I was not able to submit my comment, because of questionable content. Very clever .... This content is questionable, but not because I used the word of f.
