You need to add it to your kernel boot-up.  It depends on if you use
grub or lilo.

in lilo you will add an 'append="mem=3Dnopentium"

in grub, add it to your kernel line for each kernel you have i.e:

[/boot/grub/menu.lst]
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-4SGI_XFS_1.1 rw root=/dev/hda3 hdc=ide-scsi
devfs=nomount mem=3Dnopentium

[An example of mine.]

VB programmers ask why no one takes them seriously, 
it's somewhat akin to a McDonalds manager asking employees 
why they don't take their 'career' seriously.
