A lot of machines out there are 2 GB machines. Look at the sales figures for average machines sold with how much memory.

By the time you read this, we will have hit 20,000 from the Sourceforge server (data as of 9/14):

pae 14,595
non 5,391
TOT 19,986

Both curves (attached) still flat for the last two months.

From my own observations, many people have no idea what PAE means.

Our download page steers them to the right version in most cases, I think.

I think it depends on what their background is.

Some Windows users may have no idea what you're talking about here:
*If you are in doubt about which version you need and have Linux already running, open a terminal and enter inxi -f (you may
have to install inxi first). Look at the "CPU Flags" entry; if it doesn't include pae in the list you'll need the non-PAE version.
(and inxi isn't an option for a Windows user)

Yup, that hint is for Linux users, like it says. We need a follow-up sentence that begins: "Windows users. .."

EDIT: searched around a bit, found that this code supposedly will tell the user the situation:

Code: Select all

C:\> wmic os get PAEEnabled
It is supposed to return on PAE machines this:

Code: Select all

C:\> PAEEnabled
TRUE
Can anyone confirm that?

For XP, RC My Computer, select Properties, look on the General tab. It will say Physical Address Extension at the bottom if available:

Windows 8 must have PAE available as it won't install without it.
