You have that now, don't you? One case for <4GB and one for >=4GB. Worse, if you install more memory, the kernel doesn't see it.

Downgrading your CPU to one which does not support PAE should be rare.

and it also makes
the 'what do you with the live image' case a lot more complex.

I'd just go with PAE here.

The _real_ fix here is to get PAE runtime much like was finally done
with SMP :-)

Patches, as they say, are welcome. But you could install both kernels and have the bootloaded choose (sticks wax balls into ears).
