PAE switch

[Django x2]

We're running Windows Server 2003 32bit Enterprise (SP2).

Yes, I know!

We have SQL 2005 running on here and someone suggested whacking in 8Gb and invoking the PAE switch. Now, I know it's fine, but is it really going to work as we hope?

The server is a new build and I'm all for whipping x64 Windows on there but meh

You could get the 32bit process to use up to 3 GB with IMAGE_FILE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE and 4GT

Is this a boot.ini edit too?
