Hello I've just installed new memory modules to my dell server. BIOS shows 24GB of RAM Computer properties shows 24GB RAM detected, but only 16GB available task manager shows 16GB of total memory According to technote Windows 2008 Server R2 has RAM limited to 32GB. How to enable 24GB RAM? Thanks Tomek

Hi, Please check the following post. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winservergen/thread/871b7897-13d2-446e-bbf5-b1c8d280bd37 By the way, what size of memory do you have on the computer before you add new memory to it? Did you get the same issue? Please add the new memory one by one to see whether you get the same issue. Best Regards, Vincent Hu

Check the advanced boot options. Go to Start, in the search bar type msconfig and press enter System Configuration window will open on the screen Click on tab named "boot" Click on "Advanced Options" and uncheck the box for "Maximum Memory"
