Yes if you want to use the 32-bit version of FreeBSD.

Use a 64-bit version instead.

Some clarification: the term is PAE, not PEA.  It's important you refer
to it as PAE, because the kernel option is actually called that; if you

PEA kernel in FreeBSD 7.0

Hi,

I am about to install few brand new servers, each with 8GB RAM.

If I choose to use 7.0, will I have to use PEA kernel to be able to
access the total memory?

Best regards.
