Your doc says:

In addition, support for more powerful
hardware is provided in the new kernel which now supports 4 gigabytes
of RAM on Intel hardware,

But Documentation/Configure.help says:

Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
However 32-bit x86 processors have only 4 Gigabytes of virtual memory
space.

Maybe you can make this more clear in your doc?
