Zubair,

First make sure you have the /PAE switch in the Boot.ini on the line you use to start the system.

The other think to keep in mind is that Compaq reserves physical RAM for the PCI slots in the system. You can find more
on this at the links below.

I'm sure if you search Compaq's support site for "Proliant RAM PCI Windows" you'll find a few more articles about this.
