Is /PAE working?

06-14-2007

I have Win2003 Ent edition on a 32bit machine with 8GB of RAM.
I enabled /PAE in boot.ini (multi(0)disk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows
Server 2003, Enterprise" /PAE)

On 'System Properties', General tab, reported RAM is 3.12 GB, and it says
'Physical Address Extention'. Does this mean that its still not seeing the
RAM, or just not reporting it?

I have an AMD server with 8gig and Enterprise sp2 and no pae switch required
to see all 8gig [7.83gig to be exact]. Sounds like a hardware issue not a OS
issue.
