thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx: [THIN] Re: XP, Windows and RAMNope...  32 bits 
processors can only address 4 gigs of RAM... Sure there are tricks such as /PAE 
switch and the enterprise version of W2k3,  but that will take away additional 
memory from the kernel.  (Which is capped at 2 gigs). If you wish to use the 16 
gigs,  you will need to run a 64-bit OS with the 64-bit version of Presentation 
Server 4.0.Joe

We have several new servers that we are adding.  They are Windows 2003 and 
Citrix XP.  We have loaded them out with 16gig of Ram.  I have seen forum 
messages about servers not using that much RAM or applications not using it 
etc. and was wondering if anyone knows of any legit articles covering this.  I 
have noticed on these boxes that about 3 gig is actually being used and our 
paging files are being used up to 50 to 70%.  I am trying to determine if it is 
actually buying us anything by putting that much ram.  Or if there is something 
else we need to do to get the systems to use the Ram.    If you know of any 
articles or information I would much appreciate it.Thanks,Michael Boggan
