I know that, but running a PAE system you're running a 32 bits system with a
special option in the kernel to paginate (and use) more than 4 gB of memory,
but you're still running a 32 bits system, not a 64 bits system. It's the
current solution for many people who need gambas or run the flash plugin:
install a 32 bits OS on a 64 bits system.
