Help Android (Froyo) 2.2 Question

[TechRaven]

2.6.32 kernel upgrade
HIGHMEM support for RAM >256MB

Does that mean 256 meg of the memory currently in the HTC Incredible is unaccessible? IE we really currently only have 256meg not (512-DeviceSpace) on the Incredible or what does that mean? Is the upper side of the memory completely taken up by the device peripherals at this point? (Assuming this works as a normal kernel layout where the devices take the high address space).

Thanks!

That's the rumor on the street right now. Froyo stands to give us 256mb more of ram and overall speed increases.
