Hi, Quick answer is no. A bit longer answer is: 1- PAE refers to a certain technology avail. in the CPU which allows 32bit kernels to address larger address spaces. 2- Hugemem is a technology which changes the ratio between the user space and kernel space from 3GB/1GB to 4GB/4GB. (So the actually virtual memory refers to the same physical memory) It just gives your processes a bit more a "breathing" space before starting unmapping/mapping memory from highmem zone to the normal zone. 3- In RHEL5 there's no need for a specific hugemem kernel anymore as the kernel is smart enough to decide during boot what kind of technology should it use.
