Question : Problem: OS not seeing all memory

Experts,


I have a HP DL380 G5 which has 8 gigs of ram installed.

I originally bought the server with 4 gigs, the OS was reading 3.25 gigs of ram in this config. I installed another 4 gigs so we can have a total of 8 gigs. The Bios and system management page see's all 8 gigs.

I installed the /pae switch to the Boot.ini. I am running Windows server 2003 R2 SP2.

The OS is only showing 4gb of ram, before i added the /pae switch it was 3.25gb.

How can i get the server to see the other 4 gigs?


What do you think i should do in order to see the rest?

Answer : Problem: OS not seeing all memory

If you use 32 bits OS, then that is all you can see. If you want use all of them, then install 64 bits.
