from https:/
Physical Address Extension is a technology which allows 32 bit operating systems to use up to 64 Gb of memory (RAM), something which is normally achieved by switching to a 64 bit system.
As I can see from your download attempt you are using the software sources for amd64 systems.
Either you have already a 64 bit system and consequently there is no need (and no possibility) for a pae kernel on your system.
OR
Your update management is wrong when it looks for 64 bit packages (and if you really have a 32 bit system).
Please open a terminal and execute the following command
uname -a
This will reveal if you have a 32 or 64 bit system.

⋯:~$ uname -a
Linux KISE-055 2.6.35-27-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Tue Feb 22 20:25:46 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux
So it has 64 bit. I assumed it was 32 bit because it is not using the 4.096 GB installed (and reported on POST) memory.
⋯:~$ grep Memory: /var/log/messages
Mar 17 10:04:14 ⋯ kernel: [ 0.000000] Memory: 3205756k/3276352k available (5716k kernel code, 452k absent, 70144k reserved, 5375k data, 912k init)
⋯:~$ sudo lshw -short | grep memory

/0/2f/1 memory 2GiB DIMM Synchronous 200 MHz (5.0 ns)
Looks like I may have a memory problem

SOLUTION:
Review of BIOS settings revealed improper settings for both CPU and RAM.
When these were corrected, the problem was resolved.
Help came from foxconn tech support and also hardinfo ("System Profiler and Benchmark" on Ubuntu Software Centre", the benchmarks included were very helpful.)
