Thanks Allan.

I will call Dell and see what I find out.

Most motherboards will not allow the entire 4GB to be used as they use a
lot of the upper memory for peripherals, etc. It has to do with the MB
chipsets, 32 bit OS, etc. - check the MB manual.

You may want to read the "RAM limits" post from the 17th as well.

I am running a Dell 1800 with 2 gigs of RAM. I added 2 more last night
and the SBS2k3 only shows 3.25 gigs now. I checked the BIOS and it shows
4 gigs. I also ran a Belarc just for kicks and it shows all 4 sticks.

I thought that perhaps I had modified the boot.ini with the /3 gig switch
but I did not.


Any ideas?


Thanks


John
