That's only necessary for 32-bit kernels. If your Processor family is set to AMD-Opteron/Athlon64 (CONFIG_MK8), which I think is a fairly safe assumption on this list, then you automatically get support for well over 4GiB of memory (I can't remember exactly how much is supported, but it's much, much more than 4GiB), and without the performance tradeoff of the 32-bit HIGHMEM support. I've got 2 * 1GiB sticks in my box right now. Works wonderfully. Good luck, Conway S.
