I know you sent this a while ago, but it won't work on a Z61M or a T60P with a
32bit processor. This was prior to the chipset change that would make 4G
available. This is a chipset restriction not an OS issue. The memory was
cheap anyway so I am not worried about losing some. I have a Desktop with 8G
of ram running the PAE kernel (32 bit on 64bit processor) and it all shows up
just fine.
