Definitely a bad thing unless the app supports it (such as SQL with AWE
enabled).
As far as the 4 vs 3.2/3.5 issue, I've seen it caused by differences
between OS's (Win2k would see less than Win2k3), as well by differences
in Video cards (obviously this shouldn't be the case with Blades). I
would check the BIOS settings on servers that do differ, because I seem
to recall that there are certain settings that will allow a video card
to steal memory from the system, but I could be mistaken.

Subject: [THIN] Quick PAE question
I don't remember the final answer, but was /PAE a good thing or a bad
thing?
We have a couple hundred IBM HS20 Blades, and on some Blades that OS
sees all 4GB of memory and on other it may see 3.2GB or 3.5GB of memory.
Same BIOS version on most. Adding /PAE we see it all but for some
reason I remember this being a bad thing instead of a good thing to do.
Windows2003 Standard Edition with SP1.
Thanks in advance.
