Sadly, not the case..
Celerons, and some Pentium-M's (as Jeremy noted above) are
P6 class, yet lack PAE.

Ouch, this just bit my Dell D800 Pentium M 1.3GHz :-(

Obviously there haven't been Xen kernels available for a while, the previous one I had was 2.6.17-1.2307_FC6xen which worked for me, now I've updated to 2.6.17-1.2462.fc6xen and can't boot due to lack of PAE, presumably this does at least mean fc6t2 is "real close now" ...

I was already considering upgrading to a D820 to get HVM capability once the merom CPUs hit the shelves, I guess this will provide additional impetus ...
