Aww, damn. I thought PAE would take care of things.

I suggest you upgrade to 64-bit! Not only will you actually be able to see all 6GB of your machine, the x86_64 architecture has more general-purpose registers than ia32, and 64-bit capable chips therefore typically run faster in 64-bit more.

cheers,

Rich
