I'm installing Fedora 11 on a rather ancient Toshiba Satellite 1905-S303
laptop which ought to be tossed in the trash can, and that has the PAE
kernel installed, too.

Physical Address Extensions functionality and can therefore address up

My laptop only has 3 GB installed. Can anyone explain the pro's and
con's of using the PAE version of Linux kernel instead of the non-PAE
version?
Would the PAE version of the 32-bit Linux Kernel see 4 GB of memory if
it was installed where Vista 32-bits only sees about 3GB? For that
matter would the non-PAE version see the full 4 GB?
