If you have a 64 bit CPU then you may as well use a 64 bit OS. PAE is great for 32 bit CPUs after Pentium 4 if you have the RAM requirements. There are some other things PAE kernels enable but unless you have the RAM PAE is really not worth the effort on anything less than a Pentium 4.

Doing CPU mining of some cryptocoins, I ran the same mining software (compiled for 32 or 64 bit of course) on 32bit Debian Linux, then 64bit Debian, on the same hardware.
The 64bit mining achieved nearly twice the hashes per second as the
32bit.
These are not my needs. I usually have a couple of applications open at the same time, like Xemacs seamonkey openoffice. Therefore I need an efficient administration of the 4 G RAM, and I don't know how is better 64bit or 32bit PAE.

64nit or 32bit PAE .. it does not matter.
