[K12OSN] 8 GB RAM on 32-bit Edubuntu with AMD 64 processors

Hello,

a.k.a. the never-ending quest for sound with flash on 64-bit con't

I've been running gnash for a few weeks now as a solution to 
flash-with-sound-and-64-bit-edubuntu. For the most part it works fine, but 
I've noticed that it does a poor job with text in some cases.

A few teachers are demanding a better solution.

So I've decided to give the 32-bit Edubuntu a shot to put my eternal 
struggles with 64-bit to rest for a while. I know this is the tact that 
Jim K. has taken.

I'm wondering though about how to use > 4GB RAM. Is this possible on a 
32-bit Edubuntu with AMD 64 CPUs? If not, is PAE the solution, or is PAE 
only for Pentium CPUs?

Can anyone point me in a direction to get me going with this?

Thanks,
Tom Wolfe
