If -k8 exists, you can use it. It is just a flavour of the kernel with
some features that are only available for k8 and above (similar to -i686
kernels, etc.)
Your dmesg does suggest that the kernel knows 4GB, but HIGHMEM4G is
probably set to 'no'.
in that case, according to the kernel documentation:
"If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
possible."
Using an appropriate kernel should solve your problem.

Might be helpfull.
This morning I will paste Dmesg output for 4 of 4 RAM sticks.
Andrei, do not hurt me , but I am not too familiar with k7 ?
Is it just option of kernel ,like 2.6.23.1-k7 or more like system
architecture x86 , am64 etc?.
I use AMD 64 Athlon X2 is K7 for me ?
I tried swaping all of them in any possible order, none of sticks is
broken.
Kind regards,
