[ts-7000] Only half of RAM available?

I am experimenting with a TS-7200 with 32MB RAM, and a TS-7250 with
64MB of RAM. Both boards are prone to, at times, emitting tons of
messages like:

        __alloc_pages: 0-order allocation failed (gfp=0x1d2/0)

This has been discussed here before. The boards are running out of
memory, of course. This happens always with apt-get. If I use a USB
swap partition and it doesn't happen.

The strange thing is, I noticed that the allocation failed messages
seem to happen when RAM is only half full. This is my TS-7200 while
failing:


             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:         28712      17768      10944          0          0       1636
-/+ buffers/cache:      16132      12580
Swap:            0          0          0

and this is my TS-7250:

             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:         60752      31976      28776          0          0      16768
-/+ buffers/cache:      15208      45544
Swap:            0          0          0

Is it really the case that I am only able to access half of the RAM?
Does anyone understand what's happening here?

Please help! Thanks,
