Actually, that what PAE means according to wikipedia
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension):
In computing, Physical Address Extension (PAE) refers to a feature of
x86 processors that allows for up to 64 gibibytes of physical memory
to be used in 32-bit systems, given appropriate operating system
support. PAE is provided by Intel Pentium Pro and above CPUs
(including all later Pentium-series processors except the 400 MHz bus
versions on the Pentium M), as well as by some compatible processors
such as those from AMD. The CPUID flag PAE is assigned for the purpose
of identifying CPUs with this capability.

that's some odd bug in RHEL5 then, because it works fine for me on
RHEL4...

PAE is the new name for "hugemem"?

Actually, lazy people believe whatever the media, government and
neighbours feed them. to be skeptical of something, or to be A Skeptic
in general means getting OFF your butt, asking questions, seeking
explanations to conflicting information and learning, learning,
learning. definitely NOT a lazy person's position. I have no Idea how
you got to that odd conclusion.

I'm sure Hannit won't mind you "borroing" her title banner, but at least
edit it so it doesn't say it's her blog in the graphics...
