One wouldn't think that there were this many devices out there still kicking,
but I guess I am wrong.
Yes - there seem to have been quite a lot of Pentium-M non-PAE systems
sold even after most of the world was PAE or x86_64.
Heh, I have Pentium II's, III's, and even a couple of Pentium Pro's still in
production, in addition to a dozen or so Pentium M laptops (unsure of FSB, but
these laptops are probably PAE-capable); also several Pentium III and 4
laptops. If it works, and does the job reliably.....
On the non-linux side, have a VAXstation 4000 still up, controlling a heavily
modified Perkin-Elmer PDS-2020 microdensitometer......aka 'a scanner' even
though it weighs 7,000+ pounds avoirdupois.
Still have one live VAXstation in my building running some legacy code
that has not been ported elsewhere. Fortunately I don't have to manage
it as most of my VAX/VMS expertise has long been lost, after most of the
former herds of Vaxen from past decades wandered off into the sunset.
