I don't know if the two are related, either. PAE is necessary for an X86 
processor to have a physical address space that's larger than about 4 GB, so 
it's possible. Are you sure your PAE feature is working correctly? What about 
swap-space? It shouldn't matter, but do you have sufficient swap-space for a 
large product-queue?

Steve Emmerson
