How do I change from a regular kernel to a PAE kernel ?

My laptop has 4GB of RAM. It is currently using only 3 GB of RAM. I want to upgrade to 8 GB of RAM. I am currently using a 32 bit non PAE kernel. How do I change to using a PAE kernel ? What difference in speed will I notice in doing this ? Thanks -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@re
