What are the biggest, best CPUs that support Physical Address Extension?

I'm looking for a CPU that will support PAE and fit into an LGA775 socket. This combination of technology is very much preferred for my current server hardware/software setup.

"Any modern Intel CPU will support PAE. Even if you don't want to use >4G of memory you need PAE if you want NX in 32 bit mode.

I still run a 32 bit Linux on a system with 8GB of RAM and a core 2 quad."

"All of Intel's listed Pentium CPU's support Intel64, which makes me seriously doubt they will support PAE with a 32-bit OS.

False, in fact by definition all x86 CPUs that support x64 or even NX will support PAE with 32-bit too."
