This is correct. As soon as "PAE" ability is present, the PAE kernel will be installed.
And x86-64 CPUs always have PAE.
With which CPU generation did this feature first appear?
Don't know exactly. According to Wikipedia [1], it's Intel Pentium Pro, and AMD Athlon.
11.0 just decided to install itself 2.6.25.5-1.1-pae #1 SMP on a P-III...
On i386, it checks /proc/cpuinfo for the "pae" flag.
Which suggests that pae is available on every CPU today
