Yes, but I would recommend you to go with 64-bit OS anyways.

Even though PAE might work reasonably well if you have 4GB or 6GB or
8GB and with your current applications, 64-bit will keep working well
when you need to upgrade your machine to 16GB or 32GB and run
additional applications or newer versions that need to address more
than 4GB per process.

HTH,
