Like I said eailer, the Core chips had XD, and it looks like the Dothan version
of the Pentium M had them as well. That's the only series of chips that were
32bit that had it(None of the 32bit Athlons had it, it wasn't added until the
Athlon64, and it was only after that that intel added it and only on 64bit P4's
until the Dothan P-M). And, all things considering, I remember hearing that
some people thought that the Pentium M/Core chips were actually 64bit, but that
it was diabled, so that would still say that it's a mostly 64bit
implementation, and useless for the 99% of 32bit x86 chips out there.
Anyway, since it's only 2 small series of 32bit chips, it still begs to ask if
having this enabled takes away anything or not.
The PAE was added to the PPro and newer Intel chips. AMD didn't add PAE until
the Athlon IIRC.
