I've put in two 2G memory modules running 32-bit kernel with 'free' showing: |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
free -h |
| 4 |
total used free shared buffers cached |
| 5 |
Mem: 3.5G 885M 2.6G 9.1M 67M 345M |
| 6 |
-/+ buffers/cache: 471M 3.0G |
| 7 |
Swap: 511M 0B 511M |

CPUINFO |
| 10 |
sed '/model name/!d;/model name/q' /proc/cpuinfo |
| 11 |
model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E4600 @ 2.40GHz |
| 12 |
|

With HIGHMEM kernel config on: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
grep '^[^#].*HIGH.*MEM' /usr/src/linux/.config |
| 16 |
CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G=y |
| 17 |
CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
grep '^[^#].*3G' /usr/src/linux/.config |
| 20 |
CONFIG_VMSPLIT_3G=y |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Does this claim still hold true today? |

Or perhaps it is I who did not fit the memory modules properly? |
