The newer installers (karmic onwards) detect when you have more than
3GB RAM and install the PAE kernel. Contrary to Liams protests about
PAE it works just fine, and there's no config.sys, DOS=HIGH or LIM/EMS
in sight :)

My desktop is 64-bit and I have zero issues. Interesting that all the
issues I had in the past revolved around proprietary nonsense like
Zattoo, Skype and Flash. Slowly these people are sorting themselves
out, although Adobe seem to be on self-destruct.
