TahrPup (PAE) and ram/swap space

I have an older 32-bit laptop running TahrPup PAE. The mobo has a max of 2 GB ram, which is what's installed. I have a second hard drive with a 6 GB swap partition, but the most I can use of that is 3.72 G ... I know non-PAE systems can address a max of 3.72 G memory ... but this is able to use 2 G ...
