	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 ....

	If only more people would realize that! 

	(I also like the version that says something like "Never 
attribute to malevolence what can be explained by mere stupidity" -- and 
Schiller's "Mit der Dummheit kaempfen Goetter selbst vergebens." (In 
Asimov's translation, "Against stupidity the Gods themselves contend in 
vain."))
