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.
