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.

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.
