    ddr4?

    Dual and triple is not about point to point. To get dual you need two channels. Now you can have more than one module per channel. That is going to change.

    4gb of ram, but only 3 usable with a dedicated card?!

    I am not sure what you mean by "virtual" then. Your article also says "physical", which is what pae is. 32bit applications can be executed on 64bit Windows without supporing a 64bit OS. Right? The same is true aboue PAE.
