Hi Neo,
Thank you very much for your reply.
My windows is 32-bit but according to Micorosft there shouldnt be a problem
to Enterprise Edition (it can take up to 64 Giga):
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa366778(VS.85).aspx#physical_memory_limits_windows_server_2008

The server is a Virtual machine on Vmware ESX server.
Do i need the /3gb switch in my case?

Tnx, Yaniv.

Take the "PAE" link in the paragraph under "Physical Memory Limits: Windows
Server 2008". You will have to work thru this using BCDEdit because we
don't if PAE is enabled or not in the guest.

Another good link for you might be:

Hi Neo,
I managed to solve the problem !
I used this command: BCDEDIT /SET PAE ForceEnable. and after a reboot it
was solved.
Thank you very much for your help.
Yaniv.
