I have a gig of RAM. Ok cool. But when I look at gkrellm it says I only have 882MB of RAM. My videocard is not onboard, I have a Geforce Go 6800. I was thinking about recompiling my kernel to high memory support, but i notice that it has the options of "off", "4GB", and "64GB". Do I need to enable it to 4GB in order for it to see all 1024GB?

What kernel do you have anyways? There is a 1gb low mem patch which is better to use on 32bit than the high mem option and if I am not mistaken it is included in later kernels, 2.6.17 or better seems to jogging my memory but could be later than that,

I thought it was in there by then no matter you can get it by using the CK patches against a stock 2.6.?? kernel the patch sets include the 2.6.??.x minor version in it so you do not start with them.
