Actually he has 8 gigs of ram... thats a lot. the stock kernel doesnt
work well with that much (I think the default is 1 or 2 gig).
Recompile your kernel, and turn on bigmem so that the kernel can see and
use up to 64gigs of ram. then you should be set.
Setting mem=128M just cripples your machine. Sure it boots faster now
than before BUT that was because you had more ram than your current kernel
could handle. so recompile and make sure that bigmem is set correctly and
then you will see your big beefy machine scream like a .. oh well, you get
the idea..
