Not with Windows clients. The only thing PAE does in 32bit clients is
provide some support for certain types of device driver issues. Please see

No it can't. What you are describing is simply remapping.

No matter what mode you're in, the virtual address space is "mapped" onto
physcial pages. In PAE mode you can then map way more than 4GB.

The physical address space is not made up of x number of 4GB spaces. It is
one big address space.
