It sounds like what he's asking is whether he can install the 64-bit
kernel, but use only 32-bit userland apps (so the kernel is always
running in 32-bit compatibility mode).

My answer would be: This will probably work, but it's likely not going
to gain you anything that the 32-bit kernel with PAE cannot do.
