I have 2 laptops, both are non-PAE... Only the newest one with C2D on board is. Only the Pentium M is problem. Sonoma with PAE was introduced in early 2005, but older versions were still on market. Dunno how long pre-Sonoma processors were produced (suppose ~1 year). IMO it's much too early to abbandon support for that processors... -- pozdr.
