Can we do the /PAE switch in Windows 2003 Standard tho? Usually only put this in on Enterprise Edition.
I am reading Raymond Chens post right now, http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000811.html Z ________________________________ From: Ken Schaefer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 08, 2008 8:16 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: HP DL380 G5 and Win2k3 R2 Standard not showing maximum memory in OS /PAE works no matter how much physical RAM you have. But there is a good reason to remove it if you have more than 16GB of RAM. Review the Raymond Chen blog posts posted previously... Cheers Ken From: David W.

Ran into a strange one this morning. I have a pair of DL380 G5's that I was adding 2 GB of memory to ( Have to add it in Pairs as I found out) and when I got the OS to finally Boot ( DIMM 1A,3A must match with DIMM 5A, 7A for the correct Advanced ECC configuration) the BIOS shows 4096MB of memory on the boot, ( BIOS 4/6/2007), but when I log into Windows I only see about 3.4GB. Checked the boot.ini ( there is no /3GB switch or /Maxmem statements) Any ideas has anyone seen this before?
