that throws my theory out. so, can anyone explain what the new option 'PGE extensions' is under 'processor type & features'? it looks to be something useful on pentium compatibles for high memory support, but i can't find a good explanation that doesn't require me to have a degree in hardware engineering.

well, a bit more googling got me as far as being able to figure out whether my CPU supports PGE extensions. grep the output from /proc/cpuinfo for pge. if its there, then you've got pge extensions. beyond that, i'm not sure whether i'm benefiting from having explicit kernel support for them.
