I have 4GB of memory on an Asus A8V-E SE motherboard running an Athlon 64 X2
4400+ processor. Do I need to enable PAE in the BIOS for Vista Ultimate
64-bit?

Device Manager reports 4GB whether or not PAE is enabled. However, when PAE
is disabled, Device Manager displays a yellow (!) next to the AMD Special
Tools Driver.

PAE does not apply to x64.
