AFIAK it's the other way around:
the 3-level system is PAE, available since PPro,
and the 2-level system where only 4 MB PTE's can address
memory > 3 GB is the new system added for the P-II Xeon.
I think this mode was only added for WinNT:
Intel wants to support > 4 GB memory,
but the internal MM of NT is 2-level even in Windows-2000.
(according to www.osr.com).

Have you already started with your high-mem patch?
