Well, I looked at both the system-monitor and lshw-gui -- and got very different answers. One tells me I have 2.8 GB of (unspecified) "memory," while the other tells me 4 GB of "system memory," with two entries for RAM, neither of which says (in a form I can read, at least) how much. One just says 32; the other gives "widths" of 64 for the cpu, and 32 for each of its RAMs. My guess is that I might as well remove the PAE -- if I could, without initiating yet another catastrophe; I did big damage a few years by removing kernels wrong somehow. Probably better to let well enough alone -- especially if never using either eventually gets them expired .... > "We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from > the machinations of the wicked." - from Slashdot If only more people would realize that!
