I am having trouble using PAE on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 32bit. I recently upgraded from 4 to 8gb of RAM but PAE doesn't appear to have picked this up.

When I run "grep --color=always -i PAE /proc/cpuinfo" I get pae in the list.

When I run "dmidecode | grep Size | grep MB" Installed Size is 3825 but the Maximum Total Memory Size: 8192 MB.

When I check the BIOS it says there is 8192 MB available and the computer fully supports

I have followed everything I can find on the internet (including this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE) and nothing is working.

My Computer is a Toshiba Portege m750. It has an Intel Centrino Core 2 Duo processor. Bought in 2009

Thanks,

JamesStewy
