However, my servers are on bios P52 dated 12/02/2004, which, according to the article, should be new enough that I shouldn't be seeing this problem. I'm going to enable /PAE and see what happens.
I also heard from a collegue that he has strange memory problems on a DL360 with 6gb memory. HP won't take a call on that because there's kingston memory in that server.
Re: Dl360g4 w. 4gb memory, am I getting the runaround here?
Enable PAE... the Intel Chipset limitation is accurate. I encountered it quite often at a previous customer site.
What exactly is "strange memory problems"? If your friend wants to test his RAM he can always use this: http://www.memtest86.com/. It's a pretty comprehensive test suite. I've used it a lot at home when tweaking memory timings on custom built systems.

That is the fix you are looking for. It's been asked about many times here in the forums.
To edit your boot.ini file, right click "My Computer" and select properties. Select the "Advanced" tab and click the Settings button in the Startup and Recovery section. Click the edit button in the System Startup section and add /PAE to the line that specifies your OS.
Save, close and reboot.
You should see 4GB after reboot.
What version of windows are you running?

You already have a solution for your self in the link mentioned in your post.
CUSTOMER ADVISORY Document ID: EL041214_CW01 Version: 3 Not All Physical Memory May Be Reported By The Operating System On Certain HP ProLiant Servers PAE will do it without any issues.
