Guest TomSullivan Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 I asked a question earlier about installing Server Standard 64-bit, but no one told me if I can use the same license for both editions. Second, is there a way to run more than 4gb of ram on the 32-bit version. It seems pretty arbitrary that the enterprise version can use /PAE and Standard can't. Is there some sort of 3rd party software that can do this? I don't need all the extra stuff that enterprise comes with, nor do I want to pay that much for it. Thanks for your time! Tom
Guest Danny Sanders Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 Re: Server Standard 2003; I want more than 4gb ram! AFAIK you can not use the same license for 32 bit and 64 bit. If you did find a third party app to do what you want I would have my doubts that MS would support such a configuration.................Nor would I trust that server in production. Most likely any support MS would supply would be "remove the third party software and we can talk" You: "OK I removed it" MS : OK Windows 2003 Standard does not support more than 4 GB of RAM you need to upgrade to the Enterprise version". hth DDS "TomSullivan" <TomSullivan@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:D94BE488-BE2A-4075-B178-D3D69FF5029C@microsoft.com... >I asked a question earlier about installing Server Standard 64-bit, but no > one told me if I can use the same license for both editions. > > Second, is there a way to run more than 4gb of ram on the 32-bit version. > It > seems pretty arbitrary that the enterprise version can use /PAE and > Standard > can't.

Guest TomSullivan Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 Re: Server Standard 2003; I want more than 4gb ram! Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately, that's just as I suspected. ....I wish people would listen to me when I tell them that Linux is the way to go; free and less complicated.
