After a fresh installation, the updater maintains:

I guess that I do not need both kernels. How can I manage it?

* which Fedora version
* which CPU architecture
* what says "rpm -qa | grep kernel"

i guess because there is a PAE legacy i686
normally you should go with PAE except on very old machines

Let me agree completely, without PAE you can only have 4GB physical memory, and even that is not used optimally. There are a few other things changed which are not of interest to most people, but in general if your CPU has the feature you should use it.

The article gives a bunch of detail, but the bottom line is that your system works and better and can use more memory.
