There are a bunch of devices, namely network cards, who will cease to work properly on a SMP PAE kernel. Get a AMD64 motherboard or limit the amount of PCI cards to the absolute minimum; depending on how many/what cards you have installed, they allocate more or less memory out of the possible 4 GB PCI mem-space.
