Do you have an unusual setup, like vm software or dual boot?
12gb ram, can you described your system, is it new ram?
I have 12GB@1333Mhz in the Developer Preview, I was thinking about going up to 16GB but i already got a 7.9 for RAM score.
I will test this on my system, I'll have to hijack another 8GB kit from work and see how it goes.

Yes I had no trouble booting into Windows 8, must just be my particular hardware configuration which is listed in my system specs.

Nice. Doesn't help Pooch much, however.
Thanks for sharing as did I.
Still, seeing as how it's the 16GB barrier Pooch seems to be dealing with, as has been re-established, anything to offer?
I wish I could help, Pooch.
