I'm confused.
Intel lists both the E5300 and E6400 as supporting NX (listed as Execute Disable Bit)
ARK | Intel® Pentium® Processor E5300 (2M Cache, 2.60 GHz, 800 MHz FSB)
ARK | Intel® Core
There's no explicit mention of PAE, but PAE is supposed to be a prerequisite for NX, so it's present as well.
NX is supposed to be required for Win8:
What is PAE, NX, and SSE2 and why does my PC need to support them to run Windows 8? - Microsoft Windows Help
If the Upgrade Assistant complains about NX, see whether you can turn it on in the BIOS setup.

Hi bobkn,
A very nice follow-up post with sound concerns and recommendations! I have attached an official Microsoft document that expands on the PAE, NX, and SSE2 requirements; however, since multiple posters have successfully installed Windows 8 (without NX support) then maybe it is no longer a solid requirement but I'm guessing that some Win 8 security features might be unavailable. Anyway... Cheers!
