"PAE works on Opteron?"

Yes it does. At least I guess that is what Sandra reporting support for "PSE36 - 36 bit page size extension Yes" means.

PAE works on Opteron?

Yes.

Take a look at this:

http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/ProductInformation/0,,30_118_8796_8800~69698,00.html

and compare with:

http://www.tpc.org/tpcc/results/tpcc_price_perf_results.asp

Or use http://www.tpc.org/tpcc/results/tpccadvanced2.asp and sort by price/performance.

They match the cheapest results, but at much higher performance. It seems AMD have the 80kTPC @ < $3/TPC market totally to themselves.
