Hum... you will need to install the corresponding packages (header,
symbols or whatever it requires) for your pae kernel in order to be able
to compile things.

My nebook also has a hardware limit of 2 GiB but I still use the PAE
kernel. PAE kernel is not only convenient for more than 4 GiB of ram but
is also enables SMP (multi-processing) and NX bit (a security measure).
In brief, just keep it as is :-)

AFAIK, the latest kernel remain installed on your system unless you
excplicitely removed, at least when it was an upgrade. Anyway, you can
reinstall whatever kernel you prefer just like you install other packages.
