That would be for W2k3 Enterprise? Would it not?

It sucks when you buy 4 gigabytes of RAM and server only lets the OS use 3.1 gigs.

Maximum: 64GB for Windows hosts and Linux hosts that support large memory or are PAE-enabled, 4GB for non-PAE-enabled Windows hosts Windows 2003 Standard Edition (32bit) is considered to be a non-PAE host. There is certainly a lot of confusion over the memory support limits in Windows. Cheers, Jeremy.

Are you using Standard or Enterprise Edition? Do you just enable it on the host, or on the Virtual machines as well? Is there a way of telling exactly how much memory is being addressed? I'd appreciate your help to understand exactly how you have achieved this. Cheers.

Has anyone done this, and if so, recommend it?
