        Zu is using Server 2003 ENTERPRISE.  It supports at least 8GiB of
RAM.  Klaus is correct about the processes' memory limits, and the PAE.  The
/PAE suggestion offered up by James might have already done the trick for
Zu, or it might be that Xen domUs don't support PAE...  Anyone have a
technical answer on the Xen side?
        Dustin

That is wrong:  32 bit Windows 2003

A 32bit Windows only can use up to 4 GByte without PAE, and even with PAE
processes are restricted to 2 GByte (or 3 Gbyte in some cases).

If you really want to give a Windows Installation more than 4 G, use a 64bit
version.

Sincerly,
Klaus

Have you ever used Windows 2003 32bit (physical or virtual) with 7G
RAM? See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/283037
