That sort of disclaimer doesn't mean anything technically.  It's warning
the average user that having 4 gigs of RAM in their PC doesn't mean that
they'll have 4 gigs of *free* RAM, some of it will be used (when your OS
loads, it uses some of your RAM, and some OSs use lots of your RAM).

You'd have a different sort of warning/disclaimer for hardware that
couldn't make use of all RAM, regardless of the software you run on it.
