That's only necessary for 32-bit kernels. If your Processor family is |
| 21 |
set to AMD-Opteron/Athlon64 (CONFIG_MK8), which I think is a fairly safe |
| 22 |
assumption on this list, then you automatically get support for well |
| 23 |
over 4GiB of memory (I can't remember exactly how much is supported, but |
| 24 |
it's much, much more than 4GiB), and without the performance tradeoff of |
| 25 |
the 32-bit HIGHMEM support. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
I've got 2 * 1GiB sticks in my box right now. Works wonderfully. |

Good luck, |
