cat /proc/cpuinfo says:

Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 4300  @ 1.80GHz

 

Which is a 64-bit instruction set. So it should be good. Regardless, if this was not a 64-bit cpu wouldn't pae address that? Or does that require 64-bit instructions also? I thought pae was specifically for that type of scenario?

What CPU? If it's as old as I think it is, it only has a 32-bit CPU and more ram won't help much.

I'm trying to breathe some last breaths into an old computer my kids
use. It has 4 slots which are currently occupied by 1 GB DIMMS. I
searched a bunch of Dell forums and some people were able to get this
system to upgrade to 8GB of ram while others could only get the 4GB to
work. I don't want to waste any money here, so I'm hoping to find
someone who has 2GB PC 4200 DIMMS they are willing to part with?
