It's a known limitation of some BIOS versions. I suspect it would happen
with that other O/S as well, actually.
Is there any way to deal with it, other than telling the machine to use 2GB of
ram or less? I would like to use all 4GB, if I can.
I have already updated the bios to the latest version available, dated January
29.
I don't think the install will run a bit faster for using more memory,
while it will run tons slower if you don't run cache. Since this is a
one-time thing during install, I don't see any reason to avoid it. After
install you can look at MTRR adjustments to allow all 4GB during normal
operation.
Assuming your hardware supports it, of course.
