Hmm something is strange here on a semilar system:

CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.40GHz (2399.74-MHz 686-class CPU)
  Origin = "GenuineIntel"  Id = 0xf27  Stepping = 7
  Features=0xbfebfbff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,C
MOV,PAT,PSE36,CLFLUSH,DTS,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,HTT,TM,PBE>
real memory  = 1073725440 (1023 MB)
avail memory = 1037553664 (989 MB)
