Hi,

Starting from 12.04, Ubuntu Team has dropped the support for NON-PAE CPUs
from the default Kernel. Lubuntu and Xubuntu Team both maintained a NON-PAE
Kernel for 12.04 but starting from 12.10, all Ubuntu Official Flavours were
using PAE Kernel means users must have PAE CPU.

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PAE

Having that said, Ubuntu GNOME 13.04 and 13.10 will require a PAE CPU :)

Thank you!
