Installation and Configuration Issues

Khalid A. Al-Tayaran — Sun, 11 Jul 2004 02:34:28 GMT

We have installed Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition on an IBM XSeries 445 with 4 CPU (3GHz Xeon) and 8 GB RAM. In windows dardware list I'm seeing two CPUs and 3.75GB RAM. The IBM support Engineer has installed the latest fimrware drivers... But the configuration isn't correct until now. Any ideas ?

Hi:

The initial BIOS version was 1.00 and the latest (June 2004) is 1.15. What version do you have installed?

You need to enable the Physical Address Extension (PAE) and Address Windowing Extensions (AWE) switch in your boot.ini file by using /PAE.

The following artical describes HOW and WHEN you may want to use it.
