I have a number of machines with 1.5-2GB of ram on them, and have been running the Enterprise (himem) kernels on them (starting with MDK 8.0). We have had no problems that I would blame on the Enterprise kernels. In fact, the only problems we have had were memory corruption problems with MDK 8.2, which were (apparently) related to msec. Fixed these problems by disabling msec checks. Same problem happened on a machine using the stock 8.2 kernel as well. I cannot quite recall what messages we would find in the logs with the error, but it was a kernel attempt to address memory that failed. We think it was related to the zip drives as well (and supermount). Currently am running 8.2 and 9.0 Enterprise kernels without problems.
