6 gigs of ram on a 32 bit freebsd install

I will be using the binary nvidia drivers so I have to stay 32 bit. I am getting a new computer and the price for 6 gigs is just too cheap compared to 3 gigs. Will there be any problems? Has anyone else set up a computer like this?
 
You'll need to recompile the kernel after install, using KERNCONF=PAE, in order to use more than 4 GB of RAM.
 
There will be no problems, except that you will be wasting 3GB of RAM.

You can use PAE, but IIRC that doesn't work with nvidia-driver either ...
