Adressing memory above 1,7 Gb in SQL

Hi everyone,
We are using W2k3 standard x 64 edition in combination with SQL2000 standard
edition.
W2k with SQL2000 systems are also in use.
These machines have 4Gb of RAM, but i can't seem to get SQL to use more than
1,7Gb.
Tried the /3Gb switch in boot.ini en AWE enabled in sp_configure.
Nothing works, am i doing something strange or wrong ?
RobHow do you check the memory used ? Performance monitor or Task Manager?
Task Manager will show you a wrong value if you use more than 2 Gb of
RAM.
Also how much memory is used by other Apps and/or OS.
Markus|||Hi Rob,
Unfortunately SQL 2000 Standard Edition has a limit of 2GB worth of memory.
You can check the Maximum Capacity Specifications here:

Let me know if I can help any further.
