I have 4 GB of memory on a 32-bit laptop (Lenovo T61, in case it matters) running Ubuntu 9.10. Is there any way to make use of it all? Ubuntu only sees 3 GB, of course. Is there any way I can utilize the last GB of memory? Thanks!

You should NOT use the server kernel unless you are running a server. To use all of your laptop's 4 GB install the PAE version of the generic kernel with:
sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic-pae
is that a 32-bit kernel? if so, thats cool. – djangofan – 2010-06-25T18:15:21.113
Is there any downside to using
linux-image-generic-pae
over the "normal" kernel? Thanks! – Joe Casadonte – 2010-01-12T01:51:26.6632PAE makes memory access slightly slower. VERY slightly. Other than that, no. – Kim – 2010-01-13T06:25:20.320
