RE: CIsco 7206VXR w/NPE-G1 Question

PXF is found in the 7400 (old) and 7300 (newer) series.

Not true.  7401 has a PXF.  It's essentially an NSE-1 with GE/IO in a
pizza box.  7301 is based on the NPE-G1 and doesn't have a PXF anywhere
in sight.  

On the other hand, the (original) 7304 used PXFs, on the NSE-100 
forwarding engine. Cisco later introduced the NPE-G100 for the
7304 with a much more powerful CPU, but no PXF.
