"many posts say" a lot of things. Either these posts are specifically 
talking about 32bit systems or they are wrong.
With a 32bit integer you can only address 4gb of ram so a hack was devised 
to make it possible go beyond that limit called PAE.
Since with 64bit you no longer have that problem PAE doesn't exist on a 
64bit system.

No idea but it has nothing to do with PAE. Can you post the output of "xm 
info"?
