Windows not seeing 2GB of RAM

[edlcsre]

Hi,

I've had a search through the archives, but wanted to ask the question specifically, so apologies if similar questions have been asked before.

I've got a Windows 2000 server which is also the Data Collector for a Citrix Farm. It had faulty memory in it (2GB, 4 X 512MB) and we've replaced it with 4GB (2 X 2GB)

Trouble is, our OS is still showing only 2GB. Its not a huge problem, in that we've got the same as we had before, but obviously it'd be nice to use all 4GB. I've been looking around and have found there is a \3gb switch which can be added to the boot.ini, but that appears to be just for windows 2000 ADVANCED server.

The relevant line in the boot.ini is this:

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Server" /fastdetect

Ideally, i just want to know what i can add to this line so a windows 2000 server will detect 4GB RAM.

Any info much appreciated, thanks for your help.

Chris

/3GB should work fine on standard Windows 2000 server to, just add it after the /fastdetect switch.
