Nathan,

I feel MaxMem makes more sense because, we use "Minimum memory",
"Desired memory" and "Maximum memory" in the LPAR profile configuration
and MaxMem is in fact displaying the value of this "Maximum memory"
profile value.

So I want to keep it as "MaxMem". Let me know if you think otherwise.
