seeing more then 3gigs ram in 32bit arch linux

I posted a message about wine, crossover office in a different thread.... but if i can NOT get this resolved.. i'm not a gamer, but i enjoy a few windows apps, photoshop cs2, office 2007, hoyle casino games 2010, and a few other odds n ends..

if i were to install 32bit arch, i'm sure the performance would be JUST as good, proberly wouldnt notice much of a hit using 32bit instead of 64bit, besides watching a video, I don't do any video work..

is there a way to at least see all the ram? I use swappiness=0 to use my ram as a swap (things move alot faster that way)

ive read the forums, people asking the same question, i see alot of "it can be done, but if you have 64bit its better if you use that instead.." but i like the few programs i like..

any options?

thanks

Try kernel26-pae in the AUR.
