Alan,

I think you are correct.

 http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system/platform/server/PAE/PAEmem.mspx

says the /3GB switch was added to XP Pro, but only works with programs that 
know how to use the extra 1GB, not all programs.

You may also have to use another switch in your boot.ini - /userva=2900 - 
which restricts the memory to 2900 instead of 3000, because some video 
drivers won't fit into the 1GB left. See 
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316739

My nVidia driver won't load with just /3GB but when I added /userva=2900 it 
ran just fine.

PS You shouldn't use the /3GB switch if you have more than 16GB RAM 
apparently! I doubt that affects many of us!!

I don't think the "3 Gig switch" will work with XP Home, only with Xp
Pro is what I've heard.
