I have a Windows 2000 Standard Sever (HP Proliant ML570 G2 w/ 4 1.4 Ghz
processors). I recently upgraded the memory from 2 Gb to 16 Gb. The OS only
recognizes 4 GB. Ok. So I did my research and found out about the \PAE
switch. Fine. I inserted it into the boot.ini file and restarted the
machine. Cool. Now when I go into System properties, I only see 4 Gb of
memory and I see Physical Address Extension from the \PAE switch. Problem
not fixed. I would greatly appreciate any help and please remember I am
using Windows 2000 Server SE.
