Looking away by only using 32bits is _not_ the solution.
    

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)

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.
