Subject: [gentoo-user] What is HIGHPTE option in kernel?
Date: Wed, 31 Aug 2005 23:23:46 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1125501827.20225.15.camel@neuromancer.home.net> (raw)

Allocate 3rd-level pagetables from highmem (HIGHPTE)

The VM uses one page table entry for each page of physical memory.
For systems with a lot of RAM, this can be wasteful of precious
low memory. Setting this option will put user-space page table
entries in high memory.

I have 1.5Gb of RAM, will this be useful for me?
