Do you realize the current Precise 5.6.11 is non-PAE?
I have 5 *laptops* for testing and loaners, 4 of the 5 are non-PAE, including an EeePC which runs Precise 5.6.11 great.
4 of the 5 would be eWaste if it were not for non-PAE.
These 4 are quite fast, plenty of RAM and storage.
All play streaming video, compile custom apps I develop and anything else I try.
I do have 2 Sony VAIO that are PAE, but do NOT work with the current Precise 5.6.11 because of some weird video driver problem, black screen.
But both work with Wary 5.5. Mystery.
Those 2 Sony with PAE is silly... they can be upgraded to a MAX of *384 MB* RAM! What is the point?
Really if you want more than 4 GB RAM get a REAL machine that is 64 bit.
