While this may not be the specific issue I know Dell has "memory mirroring" on some servers with DDR3 memory which could affect this.

I have a Windows Server 2008 SP2 standard (32-bit) with 8 GB of RAM installed. I enabled the setting /set pae ForceEnable and it seems the setting was successful. When I view basic information about the server it does report 8GB RAM installed. So why is Task Manager only recognising 4 GB RAM? Is this normal? When I click About Windows it also reports 4 GB of RAM. Any further clarification about this would be much appreciated.
