This reminds of AMD K7 which supported PAE but no chipset that actually supported 36-bit addressing was probably ever released (I think API and Hotrail was going to release some before they cancelled their projects)
VIA694X/T doesn't support PAE. Even ServerSet LE-3(that has official support for 1GB SDRAM
modules) doesn't suppot PAE. But with lucky you probably will able to get 3.2-3.5GB of RAM
(1GB x 4) or 3GB(1GB x 3). I guess it is not too bad:)
I thought PAE is a CPU feature, not dependant on the chipset. Or are you referring to the 36-bit addressing yuhong wrote about? Obviously PAE is rather useless if the chipset only supports 32-bit addressing.
