Better pray all your devices have PAE compatible drivers then.

PAE is an obsolete bodge.  A sticking plaster for people stuck with
32-bit processors but who needed lots of RAM.  Just be glad you have
64-bit capable processors nowadays so you don't ever need to use it.
The sooner it fades into history, the better.

	Cheers,
