No, I don't, but when I've added it nothing changed :-( My XWindowd are still slow.
I've added this option into /etc/lilo.conf (append="mem=nopentium") 
When I boot my Linux, system see all RAM. My Linux's got 94 MB of RAM available. Look at first lines of my /var/log/dmesg :

I've also tryed add "mem=96M" otpion. (96 is size of my RAM - 96 MB).
