Ok can I chuckle on this? Too bad I will anyway J I understand the reasoning for checking it out, but how much time did you spend on this? How much is 1GB of RAM? How much performance improvement will you see with the 300MB gain on a 4GB system?
OK now that devil's advocate is done, I'm glad you did that Ed, that is useful information and clears up a mystery. Nice work!

Folks, I stand semi=corrected J Looking at it again, Winver is telling me 4.0GB and msinfo32.exe is showing me like 3.7-3.8GB right now. With the PAE switch in there. If I take the PAE switch out winver shows 3.4, and Msinfo32.exe shows about 3GB available to windows. So /PAE isn't making it totally see 4GB but does make about a 300-400MB improvement in the amount of memory seen in windows on a DL 380 G5 system. Its about the best that you can do I guess without going X64 or paying more for Enterprise Edition and not using all the features.
