That's just a snip of the tail end

Without being an expert I would say this is not physically bad memory or nearly out of memory but means some data in low (count) memory is corrupted.

Not being an expert I forwarded this message to Google and it came up with this explanation:

I am pretty sure that's what's happening on your system, a badly designed BIOS getting in the way of a properly designed OS.
And Linux will avoid using this first 64K of RAM.
