Hi,

add /PAE switch to server's boot.ini file.

Check out this MS article for more information:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;283037

If you need your server application (database, messaging) to access more than 2 GB, enable addressing extension (AWE) in this application. Whithout AWE, an application can allocate and address only 2 GB (or 3 GB if using /3GB boot.ini switch).

Hope this helps,
