Win2K3 Enterprise & Memory > 4G

[Guest Noctaire]

I have a box with 6G of memory and Win2K3 Enterprise installed.

However, it only "sees" 3.75G. Is there something special I need to do

to get it to use the full capacity of the box?

Add the /PAE switch in the Boot.ini file.

Hi,

 

as per the windows documentation any server OS will show the amount of RAM

that the OS is going to use and by default any OS uses 4GB of Physical RAM,

Even though you can install more than that.

 

As per the previous reply before you add the /PAE switch in the Boot.ini

file you should decide the role of the server and the does it require the

change. Becoz if you do this change the memory management for the box changes

and later in future you come across memory issues.

 

Thanks

Krish
