Here is my /grup/menu.1st file. Yours will be different but the format is the same.
Notice that the boot selections all begin with a new line as TITLE. The line below
this is that which you will change.
------------ CAUTION ------ CAUTION--- Make a Backup
timeout 5
color black/cyan yellow/cyan
i18n (hd0,7)/boot/grub/messages
keytable (hd0,7)/boot/us.klt
altconfigfile (hd0,7)/boot/grub/menu.once
default 0
****Below is the first selection and the line you are looking for
title linux
kernel (hd0,7)/boot/vmlinuz-smp root=/dev/hda8 hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi vga=788
**** change the line above to ADD your mem= statement.
** You can ADD this to each of the lines below with the boot selection lines.
