| 16 | This option allows you to change some of the ways that |
| 17 | Linux manages its memory internally. Most users will |
| 18 | only have one option here: FLATMEM. This is normal |
| 19 | and a correct option. |

| Andy Whitcroft | d41dee3 | 2005-06-23 00:07:54 -0700 | [diff] [blame^] | 21 | Some users of more advanced features like NUMA and |
| 22 | memory hotplug may have different options here. |
| 23 | DISCONTIGMEM is an more mature, better tested system, |
| 24 | but is incompatible with memory hotplug and may suffer |
| 25 | decreased performance over SPARSEMEM. If unsure between |
| 26 | "Sparse Memory" and "Discontiguous Memory", choose |
| 27 | "Discontiguous Memory". |
| 28 | |
| 29 | If unsure, choose this option (Flat Memory) over any other. |

| 51 | This will be the only option for some systems, including |
| 52 | memory hotplug systems. This is normal. |
| 53 | |
| 54 | For many other systems, this will be an alternative to |
| 55 | "Discontigious Memory". This option provides some potential |
| 56 | performance benefits, along with decreased code complexity, |
