Most reports are that the system will preform better with the
regular kernel, and passing 'mem=860M' (or 880M) .... than using
>= 1 gig or ram and the enterprise kernel. The 'bigmem' memory
addressing scheme the enterprise kernels use imposes a
performance hit. This has been mentioned off and on on the cooker
and lkml lists. It's also been my experience.
