The processor (cat /proc/cpuinfo) shows the pae instruction flag. One thing which I don't understand is that the kernel actually in use is presented as "3.11.0.11-generic" : is it a generic one, or is it the new name for all the pae kernels in Ubuntu ? As for which machines have "pae but not showing", how do you know which machine does and which does not? (Apart from consulting Wikipedia?) For Jörn's question : what about starting a poll on the Ubuntu forums to see if some people would feel concerned?
