I'm running 32-bit SL6.0 on a 5gb-RAM machine and (unless I'm missing
something) it sees and uses all of it.

Yes, kernel with PAE allows the OS to address more than 4GB of RAM.
However, if the 32-bit application is not coded to address more than
4GB of RAM, the app will not take advantage of the additional memory.
