That article tells when I you have memory of 4GB or more.But with just more then 2GB I don't think I can use \3gb switch

From the FIRST paragraph in that article:
When you install Exchange Server 2003 on a Microsoft Windows Server 2003-based computer that has 1 gigabyte (GB) or more of physical random access memory (RAM) installed, and that is home to mailboxes or public folders, you must edit the Boot.ini file to optimize the virtual memory usage of the Information Store service.
