AWE enabled on 64 bit system ?

Do we need to enable AWE on a 64 bit system ?
Do we need to add the /PAE switch ?
Can someone send me the link that specifically talks about these settings on
a 64 bit server , if one exists ? ThanksNo
On true 64 bit Intel Itanium Processor based Systems, there is no need for
AWE /3GB or PAE switches.

beneficial: http://blogs.msdn.com/slavao/archive/2005/08/31/458545.aspx
