Same issue for a Dell Inspirion 700M with 1.7ghz Pentium M processor. This is an early "ultrabook" 12" sub-compact notebook computer, built in 2004.

Forcing an install of an older version of Ubuntu, and then upgrading is not a user-friendly solution. I suggest checking the amount of memory during the install, and default to non-pae if 3gb or less memory installed, or prompting a question during the install asking if the system can support more than 4gb of memory....
