Just a quick question: Are these 8GB machines 32-bit machines running w/ highmem, or 64-bit machines running flat memory?

Historically, it seems like highmem has always been a challenge to get to work well for Linux.

They are 64-bit machines running a 32-bit kernel with high memory. How's that for confusion?
