  • Page 57 Trouble Shooting Even with PAE enabled, the underlying architecture of the system is still based on 32-bit linear addresses. This effectively retains the 2GB of application space and the 2GB of kernel mode space because only 4GB of addresses are available. However, multiple processes can immediately benefit from the increased RAM because they are less likely to encounter physical memory restrictions and begin paging.
