shouldn't win 2003 R2 64bit see more than 4gb by default or am I missing a setting somewhere? hardware is SuperMicro X6DVA-EG.

Does the BIOS see it? The supermicro's can be really funny with RAM placement..

Yes. I can see 8gb in bios and POST.– MoNov 6, 2009 at 7:02
Make sure the RAM is installed according to the Manual
an interleaved memory scheme is used, you must install two modules at a time, beginning with DIMM #1A, then DIMM #1B, and so on
eventhough it was a windows 2003 64bit, I ended up adding PAE(physical address extension) to boot for it to see more than 4gb ram.
c:>bootcfg /id 1 /raw PAE
Thanks for everyone's help.
