Would above suggest that your XP is 32 bit with PAE and also maybe Service pack 2 (or was it 1), I thought XP32 originally supported PAE
but supposedly because of possible bad drivers, M$ revoked PAE support. Perhaps you kept it at SP2(or 1) and just applied updates after that without the specific SP3 service pack (and without whatever quick fix that voided PAE). [Also, if above true, how do you avoid upsetting those programs that demand SP3+, simple reg hack perhaps]
I just use a modified kernel with PAE unlocked. You can find more on MSFN - Windows XP section where I usually post.
There are many interesting things like the One Core API which is a set of kernel-calls redirected or implemented from scratch to run new programs on Windows XP.
