Mac OS doesn't have a craptastic installer with cryptic messages.
Don't you just get a sad mac when something goes wrong?

You have enough good memory that the installer can load and run. It doesn't have all the drivers for your hardware installed so lots of things are dormant. The installer itself doesn't use much memory since it has to be able to fit within the minimum system requirements. If the extra ram is used at all then it will be for caching.

Memory issues can/will cause bizarre problems or errors. If it is using that part of bad memor for ACPI then it will think something is wrong with ACPI.
