I currently have the following system specifications:
Windows 7 64-Bit
Athlon 64 X2 (W) 4600+ 2.4 GHz
8GB of RAM
500 GB HD
I'm planning on installing Xubuntu as a dual partition along side my current windows installation. On the official Xubuntu page it says:
Your processor needs to support PAE in order to run Xubuntu.
From the microsoft website:
PAE gives 32-bit processors the ability to use more than 4 GB of
physical memory on capable versions of Windows, and is a prerequisite
for NX.
Just for clarification seeing as I have 8GB of RAM and running Windows 7 64-Bit, PAE shouldn't be an issue, correct?
Answer
Every 64-bit x86 CPU supports PAE. There is no 64-bit x86 without NX and there is no NX without PAE.
