I've added RAM to my pentium pro server running Windows
2000 Server. It now has 6GB of memory. The server BIOS
recognizes that it has 6GB but the OS only recognizes
3.5GB. Based on a Microsoft's technote KB283037 - I've
edited the boot.ini and replaced /fastdetect with /PAE . I
still have the same problem after I rebooted the server.
Has anyone encountered this problem and how did you
resolve it?

Thanks for any input.
 
Only Advanced Server and Datacenter Server support PAE, not the Vanilla
version. Check out KB 268230.
 
Thanks Chris. I was hoping that there is a way to make the
vanilla Windows 2000 Server recognize large memory.
