How about CONFIG_X86_PAE?
Wouldn't this allow for a balance between "domestic use" as well as a
handful of memory hungry audio/video applications (or up to 64GB of
buffered data)

Looks very useful for many "desktop" use cases. However I note from
this page: (first hit on google)<br>

"PAE is required for NX support, and furthermore enables
larger swapspace support for non-overcommit purposes. It
has the cost of more pagetable lookup overhead, and also
consumes more pagetable space per process."<br>
<br>
That suggests to me a similar situation to a win modem or auto
resampling. <br>
<br>
- Should this be a recommended method coming from LAD?<br>
<br>
<br>
BTW, it would be interesting to get some real world feedback from
anyone who has this enabled already on a 32 bit platform.<br>
