Double edged sword, though; that article also claims:

    So, PAE wonâ??t make your Photoshop or video editing
    app any faster, and it isnâ??t nearly as useful as it
    sounds. While 64-bit Windows Vista isnâ??t perfect,
    it will give you access to your full address space,
    and youâ??re bound to have far fewer application
    compatibility problems (and get more out of your
    memory) than you would with 32-bit Linux and PAE.

Granted, I'd have to study the issue in Linux's case.
I'll admit to wondering.

If nothing else, Roy's stuff is a series of news reports
that show various successes with Linux -- and interesting
failures with Vista.
