If you want your applications to have more than 2GB, you need advance server and the "/3GB" switch.

Nope, more than 2GB. Win2k server will recognize 4GB, but will only let all
applications have 2GB of that 4GB. It reserves the other 2GB for OS
functions (which is WAY overkill).

As I understand it Win2k Server can see it...applications however can only utilize up to 2GB of memory addresses by default.
The /3GB switch allows applications to utilize up to 3GB of memory addresses instead of the default 2GB.

I disagree, in theory and in practice. The "problem" I experience is
that it logs an event telling me it's fragmented. Which I ignore.
