Limit available memory on 64-bit Ubuntu 12.10

Question

Is there a efficient way to limit the available memory of the Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit operating system? I have a 8GB ram memory and I want to make only 1GB available.

Thank you.

According to this documentation of kernel boot params the mem=xxx kernel boot param does what you're looking for.
