It has been said here before. Linux fully supports PAE whereas Windows only uses it for execution restriction. Therefore you are not able to see anything beyond the 4 GB limit on Windows.

That is not correct. Windows also supports full PAE, but adds licensing-based restrictions. The Datacenter and Enterprise editions of Windows Server 2008 will provide access to all 64GB RAM PAE can provide.


Sorry, didn't see it. Thanks for your response, that makes sense!
