Actually I was wondering if your pae-enabled machine that does not
support 4Gb of RAM could use the pae version. If so, then the
description should probably be changed to reflect that the xen-pae
version should be used on machines that support more than 4Gb instead of
those that actually have more than 4Gb.

I think I am able to test that in a few weeks myself when I retire my
old server. It has dual PII 233Mhz chipsets, does support PAE but can
only handle up to 384 Mb of RAM.
