Why not just use the x64 PE?

Subject: RE: [MDT-OSD] Dell Precision T5810 WinPE x86 freeze
All,
I have been having issues trying to image Dell Prevision
Towers(t7810,5610,5810,5500) with the x86 boot image for a while. If I image it
with x64 everything is fine windows is able to go through the setup process and
everything is fine. When I use the x86 image boot image I always get the
endless boot loop because windows is corrupt and cannot boot correctly. Our WIM
files are fine they have been in production for a while, and we constantly test
those. We only have this issue on Dell Precision Towers. There have been
suggestions out there on the interwebs this is a memory issue with how
WinPE(x86) loads into memory. I did find this link
https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg02641.html
suggesting to uncheck the Memory Map IO option in the bios and try it.
Thanks,

I was having trouble getting ADSI working in 64bit WinPE as part of the
pre-execution hook boot. That problem is now resolved.
I preferred to have the desktop staff use WinPE 32bit for the Pre-execution
environment because up until this model, all computers could boot WinPE 32
bit, while not all computers are 64bit capable. This was good because the
desktop support didn't have to think about whether to boot to 32bit or 64bit.
I am not using UEFI at all. Only deploying Windows 7 - mostly 64bit, but
sometimes Windows 7 x86 and even less frequently Windows XP 32bit. All are
started from booting into the WinPE x86 (and now x64) pre-execution hook
environment where they run a pre-deployment wizard to stage the machine in MDT
DB and SCCM and AD.
Now that I have the x64 ADSI stuff working in WinPE, I am suggesting that they
use the x64 boot disk and only fall back to the x86 boot disk if they have
hardware incapable of running x64.
Regarding firmware, the T5810 came with A07 (latest) and I also tried
downgrading to A06, which also had the problem of not being able to uncheck
Memory Mapped I./O above 4gb.
Anyway, now that I have ADSI working in WinPE 64bit, problem averted. Thanks.

Why can't you boot using a x64 WinPE OSD image?

While in UEFI mode, the Windows version must match the PC architecture. A
64-bit UEFI PC can only boot 64-bit versions of Windows. A 32-bit PC can only
boot 32-bit versions of Windows. In some cases, while in legacy BIOS mode, you
may be able to run 32-bit Windows on a 64-bit PC, assuming the manufacturer
supports 32-bit legacy BIOS mode on the PC.

I am unable to get some new Dell T5810 computers to boot from WinPE x86 USB
disks. I read online someplace that WinPE x86 will not boot if the Memory Map
IO over 4GB box is checked in the BIOS (and that it is supposed to be unchecked
by default) Mine is checked. If I uncheck the box and save the change, it is
checked again when I look on the next reboot.
I really need to boot from a x86 WinPE boot since that is where all my OSD
development is set up, but I can't figure this one out.
I tried posting to the Dell community, but I am unable to get logged in
correctly there to post.
Anyone here have any experience getting Dell Precision towers - specifically
the 5810 to boot from X86? I know I had this working before but this new batch
of T5810s, I cannot get to work.
