Just to be clear, since you say i386 (I presume you mean architecture),
I believe the Physical Address Extensions which allowed 2MB Page Size

PSE != PAE != PSE36. Pentium Pro sounds about right though.

Thanks for the clarification/correction. PSE does not depend on PAE,
though both were introduced at roughly the same time (appears PSE was
introduced silently in Pentium, officially in Pentium Pro). I definitely
wasn't thinking of PSE36, which was the Pentium III.
