I'm just adding to the list of people saying "come on intel, fix your bug"
I tried the pae patch on my work laptop that is required to use win 7 32 bit a while back and couldn't get it work because it always crashed. I just downgraded my video drivers to the XP version then PAE patched it again and now I'm running great on all 8GB of memory I have installed.
My laptop is a Dell E6420.
So come on intel, please fix this, we know you can.
