Fortunately you can use a real processor with 4GB of RAM as well as an IA-64 (if you can find one even!). It is chipset dependant whether RAM lost to the PCI window can be made to appear over the 4GB boundary with a PAE capable intel ia32 processor (or clone) with an AMD x86-64 processor (or clone)
It depends entirely on the chipset quality
