PAE is not virtual memory. Virtual memory is a method of making disk space appear as memory. PAE is a memory mapping technique, that allows an applcation to access memory (real or virtual) beyond the normal 4 GB limit. This is true. Bryan and I had a bit of discussion about it. However, an application program is still mapped into virtual space. Linux, however, when implementing PAE extensions in the kernel can allow a 32-bit application to use more than 4GB (actually 64GB). -- Jerry Feldman
