WARNING message on boot "requires no more than 16384MB RAM "

Why when the system boots do I see this message
"redhat-support-check: WARNING: Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 3 (Taroon Update 8) requires no more than 16384MB RAM to run as a supported configuration. (31609MB detected)"

I have 32GB of memory and the system seems to see all the memory when I use the top command.

Will the applications work and use all 32GB? Is this a real error?
I could edit /var/lib/supportinfo and comment out MaxRAM but am I just hiding the problem?

Thanks for your help

It's not an error, because it tells you it's a WARNING.
