Installation and Configuration Issues

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?

Make a great day!

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.
