How to tell for sure if PAE (Physical Address Extensions) is enabled or not?
There is a SPECIFIC command I can use? I can read a registry value or something? (Windows 7 32 bits)

I have found this on Internet but it doesn't answer my question:

If your server has hot-add memory ability (ability to add more memory without shutting down the server !!) or data execution prevention (DEP) is enabled then PAE will be enabled automatically !!

It only reformulate the question as "does my Qosmio x505 laptop support hot-add memory?"
