if its a X64 you really dont need any thing. If you have x86 installed os in this case you should enable PAE
Windows automatically enables PAE if DEP is enabled on a computer that supports hardware-enabled DEP, or if the computer is configured for hot-add memory devices in memory ranges beyond 4 GB. If the computer does not support hardware-enabled DEP or is not
configured for hot-add memory devices in memory ranges beyond 4 GB, PAE must be explicitly enabled.
To explicitly enable PAE, use the following
BCDEdit /set command to set the pae boot entry option:
bcdedit /set [{ID}] pae ForceEnable
IF DEP is enabled, PAE cannot be disabled. Use the following
BCDEdit /set commands to disable both DEP and PAE:
bcdedit /set [{ID}] nx AlwaysOffbcdedit /set [{ID}] pae ForceDisable

Hi Nicolas,
If it is Windows Server 2008 Standard x86, it can support up to 4GB memory. If it is Windows Server 2008 Standard x64, it can support up to 32GB memory.
