A quick google yielded an article that says appending mem=4G to the boot parameters will do the trick. Is this all I need to do? Is this as good as pulling the memory out?

Not quite. A big chunk (up to 2GB) of the base 4GB of RAM will still end up mapped above the 32-bit boundary, so the card (or driver) will still have issues with pointers that don't fit into 32-bits.

mem=2G is pretty much guaranteed to work, though.

EDIT: /proc/mtrr provides useful feedback on this kind of thing

Cheers
