Memory Not being recognized by Server 2003

Good Day Windows Magicians

 

I have a Windows 2003 Server Standard that has 8 GB of RAM Physically

installed, But The SYSTEM PROPERTIES, GENRAL TAB shows only 4 GB, I have the

\PAE Switch in the Bootini.

 

One Caviat, it is a Dell 2850 and I have in DIMM 1 and 2 both A and B slots

1 GB DIMMS and in DIMM 3 Slots A and B slots 2 GB DIMMs, Could it be the

order they are installed? I know this may be more a hardware question, But I

was hoping someone here knew for sure..

Win 2k3 Standard can only use 4 GB RAM.

 

Upgrade to Win 2k3 Enterprise

Server 2003 Standard supports a maximum of 4GB RAM, you will need

Enterprise Edition to use 8GB.

Gentlemen

 

Thank you for spoon feeding me something I probably should have remembered

from basic classes,

 

I simply forgot all that and I appreciate the reminde and the links,

 

I appreciate your timely responses and not making total fun of me..:)
