Memory remapping is generally needed if you have more than ~3.2-3.5GB of

memory since modern motherboards still use a fair chunk of sub-4GB

address space for hardware.  Memory remapping moves the physical RAM

away from this address space to address spaces that are otherwise

unoccupied, allowing access to this memory.

There's no real difference one way or the other in x86 mode since you

can't use the memory remapped or not, so I wouldn't touch it unless

there is a particular reason to change this option.

In x64 (or x86 with PAE), you should leave it on.
