So how do I find out if my laptop, ( or would anyone be able to tell me) supports PAE....
Laptop is a Dell Inspiron 1545 about 4 or 5 years old...

The difference between 32 bits and 64 bits is 64-32=32 top of the class in maths.... but haven`t got a clue what the "difference" is technically...

64bit should generally give better performance, but there are many things where it doesn't make much difference, and a few cases where it might be slower. Some benchmarks: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ubuntu_natty_pae64&num=1
I suppose it may be easier to stick with a 32bit operating system, for running 32bit Windows programs with wine, and 32bit Linux software, if your distribution makes a pig's ear of installing 32bit libraries on a 64bit system.

On a linux box, if you type the command 'more /proc/cpuinfo' you will get some text that describes the CPU capabilities. On my machine it returns this:

vendor_id : GenuineIntel

The seventh item in the 'flags' line tells me my processor has PAE support.
