I don't say to put it in, only to have a flat 32bit address range.

Just like the current 64bit systems don't have 16 Exabyte of memory in
them.

(I still vividly remember using memmaker and manual ordering the drivers
in config.sys and autoexec.bat to shave another 2KB from the lower
memory so the IPX driver would fit so Doom would run.)
