thanks for pointing out this, because I was curious and grepped the config
files on my 32bit system.

grep -i pae /boot/config*
/boot/config-2.6.26.2s1:# CONFIG_X86_PAE is not set
/boot/config-2.6.26.2s1.old:# CONFIG_X86_PAE is not set
/boot/config-2.6.26.5s1:# CONFIG_X86_PAE is not set

but it seems that in newer once it's gone

ls -1 /boot/config*
/boot/config
/boot/config-2.4.26-acl-emo
/boot/config-2.4.26-h323-acl-emo
/boot/config-2.6.26.2s1
/boot/config-2.6.26.2s1.old
/boot/config-2.6.26.5s1
/boot/config-2.6.28.5eko2
/boot/config-2.6.28.5eko2.old
/boot/config-2.6.30.10eko2
/boot/config-2.6.30.6eko2
/boot/config-2.6.30.6eko2.old
/boot/config-2.6.31eko2
/boot/config-2.6.31eko2.old
/boot/config-2.6.32.7eko2
/boot/config-2.6.32.7eko2.old
/boot/config-2.6.33eko2
/boot/config.old

surprise surprise - when making statements by theory people should check in
practice
