So I jumped ahead to fast and after reading a few other docs; correct me if I am wrong. But the /userva switch, should I monitor the memory performance after implementing the /3GB and then determine if the PTEs drop then implement? The reason I ask this (may sound dumb) but our EX2K3 is our only server and everything is hosted on it, priv and pub. Our organization is limited on funds and cannot follow MS' best practices.

I've been reading the documents on utilizing the /3GB switch. However, when reading 325044, there is a /userva in the doc. But I read 316739 which explains how to use the /userva and I'm a little confused as to why you would use that switch. Could some clarify for me as to why the /userva would benefit or would not?
