Windows is also able to take advantage of the PAE flag in CR4 that allows 36 address lines (i.e., 64GB) to be used instead of the normal 32. Naturally, Microsoft had to invent its own acronym so you would think they had invented it. The facility, in Windows, that allows a 32-bit application to use more than 2GB of physical memory is known as Address Windowing Extensions (AWE). In order to take advantage of AWE, one of the core kernel binaries has to be replaced. Specifically, the Ntoskrnl.exe executable must be replaced by Ntkrnlpa.exe. AWE is supported by all of the Windows 2000 implementations. It is enabled by the /PAE switch in BOOT.INI.
