It looks like things are more viable now, I'll give it a go. Just need to order another drive first.

4GB currently but I'm looking to add 2 or so.Yes, PAE allows you to address more than 4GB, but (as far as I know) you still have a 4GB per process limit, theoretically. In practice things don't always work so well and MySQL in particular doesn't always appreciate the presence of PAE.
