I newer experienced problem on my PC with 4 GB of RAM, I used 32-bit PAE-enabled kernel (so it could map up to 64 GB of ram) - no problems with wine or anything else.

P.S
It is funny that in order to use 4GB of memory, or more - you must have 64-bit Windows, event thou on Linux, you can easily use up to 64GB of RAM on 32 bit kernel ;]
What's funny?  These are license restrictions.   See here http://www.geoffchappell.com/viewer.htm?doc=notes/windows/license/memory.htm

Say what you want, but there being no technical restrictions just makes the whole deal weirder. And more obvious they'd really like people to just switch to a newer version of Windows, of course.

No, they want you to switch to a 64 bit version. Even Windows XP had this. The problem is that they did not want to license a memory extender that they had no control over...(Silly Microsoft.)
