You do not need to install 64bit versions of windows to use more than ~3.5 GB of RAM

this is a how-to from MS; it won't blow ur machine up but be sure about ur processor supporting DEP(Data Execution Prevention) intel calls it Execute Disable Bit anyway it says on the MSDN article that in all machines that support DEP the OS will enable PAE I only have 1 GB lol so i cant check this but my processor has DEP, yours has it too so according to MS your machine should be able to address all of the RAM installed

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa906211.aspx in here they say PAE is disabled on all 32bit editions of windows
so i say you are good to go
