Thread-topic: [Xen-users] xen3.0.2 4G ram
To be able to see more than about 3.5GB of actual RAM, you need to
enable HIGHMEM64G (which translates to PAE in the processor features -
or three-level page-tables if you want to use another term for it). 

You'll also need to enable the same feature in Xen itself, as the Xen
hypervisor and the Dom0 needs to match in page-table bitness...
