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.

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