32bit version or 64-bit version?

Nope... 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.

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.
