Plop Linux - PAE, memory limits, 4GB, 64GB, 1TB

With PAE (Physical Address Extension) it's possible to access more than 4GB RAM with a 32bit kernel. That means you can access the available RAM up to 64GB with the 32bit PAE Plop Linux version.

PAE is available since Intel Pentium Pro (1995). The PAE kernel will not boot on a machine that has no PAE support (Intel Pentium and earlier, the 400 MHz-bus versions of the Pentium M).
