Here is a kernel git changelog entry that says it is true: | i386: divorce CONFIG_X86_PAE from CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G | | PAE is useful for more than supporting more than 4GB RAM. It supports | expanded swapspace and NX executable protections. Some users may want NX | or expanded swapspace support without the overhead or instability of | highmem. For these reasons, the following patch divorces CONFIG_X86_PAE | from CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G. http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=c673f1a9d994de501b674b2bb6a48bd5e912afe0 Regards, Till
