Following a modified instruction from Softlayer I was able to get my full 4gigs of ram recognized by Debian Lenny 32bit with the help of bigmem. I also had to install the bigmem linux-headers and nvidia-kernel.

sudo apt-get install linux-images-2.6-686 linux-headers-2.6.26-2-686-bigmem linux-image-2.6.26-2-686-bigmem nvidia-kernel-2.6.26-2-686-bigmem

I also had to download the proprietary nVidia driver and repeated these instructions. Reboot the system and check you memory ussage.
