Turns out, the motherboard on these laptops (which may be similar to yours) only can address something like 3.2G.
Folks, how many times does this need to be repeated? The BIOS *has* to reserve some address space below 4 GiB for I/O puposes, e.g. 32 bit PCI devices. RAM in that range is not accessable. Therefore some BIOSs offer the option to remap that RAM to above the 4GB threshold. In order to access this remapped RAM, you either need a 64bit kernel (if you're using a processor that supports AMD64/EM64T) or a 32bit kernel with PAE enabled (i.e. kernel-bigsmp).
