I put an ATI video card into this computer to substitute for the on-board Intel
video and somehow the problem magically went away.  This computer runs at full
speed now without any "mem=" parameter, and as a bonus I get a lot more
available memory:

[frankcox@mutt temp]$ free
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:       3994784    3805124     189660          0      49524    3118824
-/+ buffers/cache:     636776    3358008
Swap:      2031608         60    2031548

I recovered 637mb of ram over what I had available when using the on-board
Intel video.
