Having been corrected by both you and Joerg (thank you!), I went back to re-verify my understanding. It appears that while I was slightly mixing PAE in with PSE, PSE support for 4MB pages was introduced 'silently' with the Pentium, and documented first with the Pentium Pro. I haven't found anything that points to earlier inclusion. Certainly the 80386 processor specifically, I am fairly confident would be limited to the 4KB pages.

Agreed? Or are you aware of earlier usage than the Pentium for 4MB pages?


Yes, I agree.  I'm not aware of 4MB page support before the Pentium.

Alan
