I've posted this question on a number of forums, Tek-Tips, Computing.net and many others. No one can answer my question. I just can't believe that over 65,000 people have no idea what the answer is. Here is my challenge to you Microsoft guru's.
Find out why Windows 2000 server (not advanced or datacenter) can't see more that 3.5Gigs of RAM.
The Facts:
The system is a Dual XEON 2.8Ghz w/HT.
It has (4) 1Gig DDR DIMMS.
The mobo can see upto 8gig of RAM.
The BIOS see's the memory fine.
When I had 2gig in, it saw all 2 gig.
I added another 2gig, and it see's only 3.5Gig (3668mb)
Now find out WHY?

PS: For those who want to know "why SO MUCH RAM?"
Running an Oracle server which requires 3 gig just for my databases. Thank you for your time!
