Bug Description

Gigabyte "Spring Peak" laptop with 8GB RAM installed.

System performance is unusably slow -- even booting just "single" mode. Booting with "mem=4g" cures the problem; "mem=5g" makes the problem return. A similar (identical?) machine with only 4GB RAM does not exhibit the problem.

This problem has been identified as being specific to the GIGABYTE Spring Peak "F06" BIOS.
Upgrading the BIOS to version GIGABYTE SP13 "ASBF07" BIOS (or a later version) cured the problem.
