Quoting directly from that wiki article:
"This, **theoretically**, increases maximum physical memory size from
4 GB to 64 GB. The 32-bit size of the virtual address is not changed,
so regular application software continues to use instructions with
32-bit addresses and (in a flat memory model) is limited to 4
gigabytes of virtual address space."

I said "physical memory" i.e. RAM - so you still owe me that Coke!

Never heard of PAE? 32bit Desktop Linux can and does.
