=== 32-bit paging, 2 MiB pages, with PAE ===
[[File:X86 Paging PAE 2M.svg|400px|thumb|right|With PAE; 2&nbsp;MB pages]]
The entries in the page directory have an additional flag in bit&nbsp;7, named <code>PS</code> (for ''page size''). If the system has set this bit to <code>1</code>, the page directory entry does not point to a page table but to a single, large 2&nbsp;MB page ([[Page Size Extension]]).
