Re: [HELP] SBS 2003 memory problem

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Note You do not have to use the /3GB switch on Microsoft Windows Small
Business Server 2003-based computers. We do not recommend that you use the
/3GB switch parameter in the Boot.ini file for Exchange Server computers
that are also Active Directory domain controllers or global catalog servers.

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;823440

also discusses /PAE and /USERVA

and if you plug '/3gb' into http://support.microsoft.com you may also see
discussion of AWE

none of which is relevent to SBS.
