Subject: Re: HIGHMEM4G config for 1GB RAM on desktop?
Date: Mon, 2 Aug 2004 23:32:38 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <b71082d804080214322e122806@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Last time I checked (which is already a somewhat older kernel) without
the 4G option you can only only address nine hundred something out of
of your thousand and twenty four megs.

And I believe the highmem thing creates some overhead.

So if you can live without the ~100mb, keep it off. If you want it,
turn it on. Other people will probably tell you te exact effects of
highmem. Probably in hard to decipher english too:)

I kept it off for ages, myself, basically because I rarely use all my
1GB. I think it's on now.
