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

http://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/X86_PAE.html

"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."

That suggests to me a similar situation to a win modem or auto resampling.

- Should this be a recommended method coming from LAD?


BTW, it would be interesting to get some real world feedback from anyone 
who has this enabled already on a 32 bit platform.
