AIUI, the 32-bit installer gives you a PAE kernel if your CPU can handle 
it and has for quite some time.  My laptop has 3GB RAM and back when I 
installed F 9 on it, I found that I'd gotten the PAE kernel.  In fact, 
that's when (and how) I learned what PAE is, because I'd not heard of it 
before.
