Ignoring conditional branches for them moment:
  ALL instructions on the ARM are conditional
  PA-RISC has a 'skip the next instruction' in arithmetics,
     which is equivalent to making the next instruction conditional
  SPARC and ALPHA have conditional move instructions 
     (from memory here- could be wrong)
