<FWIW>
Ubuntu 12.4 (aka Precise) doesn't appear to me to do any auto-detecting.
I think that Ubuntu 12.4 installs PAE regardless of the amount of RAM.
That's what it did when I upgraded one host from 11.4 (Natty) w/ 2G.
Only PAE kernels in my /boot now, where 11.4 had both PAE and non-PAE
kernels.
Oddly though, my Mythbuntu 12.4 (upgraded from 11.10) backend w/ 512M
ram has only the non-PAE kernels. Looks as though at least one
downstream distro isn't consistent in this regard.
