I dont want to do that unless I know that it will help.  I shouldn't
need PAE to read the 4th GB of memory; I thought I only need PAE for
MORE than 4GB?

I already use dmidecode and send the memory info in a previous message
to this list.  Basically, according to dmidecode the system CAN hold
up to 4GB and I have two 2GB sticks.  But Linux still only sees 3GB.
