Boards ASUS P5B Deluxe (P965+ICH8R , 4 GB MAX )
& ASUS P5K Premium/WIFI-AP (P35+ICH9R, 8 GB MAX)
have option in BIOS kind of :-
Advanced ->ChipsetSettings->NorthBridge->Memory Remapp :
Enabled (4GB & 8GB corespondently)
or Disabled (3 GB avalilable on P5B Deluxe,
ability to load CentOS 5.0 (x86_64),
F7 (x86_64) with usual kernels )
I never disabled it on P5K Premium/WIFI. The most recent F7(64 bit)
install ran smoothly with this mentioned option enabled.
