No, 2 completely different operating systems.

With an x86 system you can only access up to 4GB of address space, (
pow(2, 32)..), systems starting with the Pentium Pro/Athlon increased the address bus size to 36 bits... a hack in reality. (
Registers/pointers are still 32 bits in length..).
On a PAE compatible system, all memory mapped above 32bit physical is made available to the system, but no single application can use more then 4 GB of ram.
Use the 64 bit port... assuming the nv(4) driver supports your card, 2D support is more then sufficient, if not, vesa(4) is your only option.
