Upcoming Ubuntu Karmic has 32 bit PAE kernel

Just stumbled upon a page that shows upcoming Ubuntu Karmic has pae kernel.

What it means to Ubuntu users is (I am excited) it will support more than 4 GB of RAM in 32 bit

Default generic kernel supports only upto 4 GB in theory, but in reality can allow only upto 3.2 GB RAM

The below link is where I saw about the pae kernel, you can also see by clicking below (this does not mean much, unless for owners of 4 GB RAM system or above and wants a 32 bit system)
