Thanks. Here are a couple follow-up question then.
(1) If I start 2 separate VMWare processes, they should each be able to
grab 3GB of memory (more or less) - is that right?
(2) My Dell box has 2 Xeon processors and I'm running the SMP kernel.
Even without CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G, should the 2 processor "split" access to
the memory, so that I can run 2 processes - one on each processor - that
have access to 3GB (more or less) each?

Problem - I can only "see" 4GB of memory. Here is the output from
"free -m":
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ free -m

Mem: 3995 3908 86 0 145

What do I need to do in order to make the other 2GB of memory available?
Build your own kernel, setting the appropriate HIGHMEM option.
$ grep HIGHMEM /boot/config-2.6.12-1-386
CONFIG_NOHIGHMEM=y
# CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G is not set
# CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G is not set
Ron's right, you need to rebuild your kernel with high memory support
enabled and everything gonna be OK with you 6GB
