Installing the consumer preview had no problems.
If I boot into Windows 8 (Consumer Preview) and run the Release Preview setup from the DVD manually, I get the "Your CPU is not compatible" error message. My machine does meet the requirements as far as I know: P4 2.6 GHz, 1.75 GB of RAM.

Answer
To install Windows 8 Release Preview on your PC, the processor (CPU) must support the following features: Physical Address Extension (PAE), NX, and SSE2. Most CPUs have support for these features, so if you receive this error, it is likely because the NX feature is not enabled on your system.
To resolve this error, follow manufacturer guidelines to enable NX (“No eXecute bit”), or the equivalent XD (“eXecute Disabled”) feature, within the BIOS security settings.
If the BIOS setting for the NX support option is not available on your system, you may need to contact the manufacturer for updating the BIOS. Note that some older processors may not contain these features and will be incompatible with Windows 8 Release Preview.

Your lack of preparation doesn't constitute an emergency for me.

I checked my BIOS settings, there is nothing about the "No Execute" bit. However, I believe the P4 does have this capability.
I have the latest BIOS available for this CPU board. So I am just out of luck?
Although this is an old processor / board that I use for testing purposes, it is frustrating that this latest release does not work when the consumer preview ran just fine.

I haven't found out yet, if the CPU does support the NX-Bit. There's no hint in the BIOS (uptodate).
Some websites say, NX-Bit is supported in Prescott and later (Northwood is before Prescott).
Others say, all P4 do support NX-Bit. Developper- and Consumer-Preview worked flawlessly. I can't understand why Microsoft doesn't support this CPU. Or is this a Bug. I've already read the error also occurs on intel i3 CPUs...
Update:
My CPU has no NX-Bit support. Trying to launch the setup.exe from the "source" directory...

Same problem after first reboot of setup.
I'm giving it up. I really hope MS will reconsider this decission.
It simply doesn't make sense. My CPU is absolutely capable of runnig windows 8.
I think it is my decission to use this security-feature (NX-Bit) or not...
