re: "/3GB" in the boot.ini
"This switch forces x86-based systems to allocate 3 GB of virtual address space
to programs and 1 GB to the kernel and to executive components. A program must
be designed to take advantage of the additional memory address space. With this
switch, user mode programs can access 3 GB of memory instead of the usual 2 GB
that Windows allocates to user mode programs. The switch moves the starting
point of kernel memory to 3 GB. Some configurations of Microsoft Exchange
Server 2003 and Microsoft Windows Server 2003 may require this switch."
