The server is using all Dell Memory - it has 6Gb, 2Gb is
in a hot spare bank. I notice Kevin Longley's message
regarding the /3GB switch for use with Exchange 2000
Advanced server, however I cannot believe that the server
would spontaneously reboot due to too much memory ! We
have now upgraded the Dell PERC3 Di RAID card to the
latest firmware and drivers and it does seem to be a bit
more stable, but not much.
