It is possible - however not recommended for most.

 

If you put in more than 4GB RAM, use of the PAE switch will enable an
application with AWE support (Address Windows Extensions) to access the
additional RAM.  But only if you have apps that support AWE.  This would be
things like database software.  It isn't for terminal servers.

 

A better solution, although bleeding edge, would be running the 64 bit
version of the OS and Citrix.   You should be able to find details on PAE
and 64bit over on Brian Madden's site.

Hi List

 

Environment - Windows Server 2003 Standard with PS4.0

 

I have read in a thread that it is possible to use more than 4gb of RAM on
the above OS by using the /PAE mode.

 

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

 

Many thanks
