Not True! I have an I nvida atom/ion motherboard and am using a 64bit linux 
with 2x2GB dimms, and it will only get me see MemTotal: 3478232 kB,
4GB - 512MB (hole) - 128MB (video) - Kernel

I think memory remapping depends on the motherboard chipset as well as a 64bit
linux. There is no option in the bios to tell it about a 64bit os, the
documentation for the board says it support up to 8Gb...
