SL6.0 is based upon Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6

http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=3&ved=0CCYQFjAC&url=http%3A%2F%2Fdocs.redhat.com%2Fdocs%2Fen-US%2FRed_Hat_Enterprise_Linux%2F6%2Fpdf%2FRelease_Notes%2FRed_Hat_Enterprise_Linux-6-Release_Notes-en-US.pdf&rct=j&q=PAE%20redhat%206&ei=b1WUTb3cOs-r4QanpKCxDA&usg=AFQjCNFLf4tFtbr7S1nmRPOAzhmRgFQLdg
(section 12.6.1) says
 	A PAE enabled processor is a minimum requirement
 	for the x86 variant of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Basically SL6 does not support your computer.
