The memery beyond 1MB is the data of system, some Linux system do=
 not use it
because to many manufacture do most of there works there. It=
 would be dangerous
to write to that region.

Acturely , If you computer can find 191M memery then everything=
 is ok.
when I use thinkpad 600 . I used to use 192M memery, but only=
 191M can be use too.
