Unable to use more than 3 GB for VPC
Hi
I am windows 2003 server 32 installed on a Dell machine with dual proc and 8 gb of RAM.
Will I be able to install VPC and use the additional 4 GB RAM that the server cannot see?
How do I go about doing it?
Thankyou

I agree.
If you cannot use x64 - then the only way this can work is, as brent_caskey said, use 32bit Server 2003 Ent.
My recommendation would be to use Vmware ESX Server, and junk Virtual PC (not specifically server software in any case) - and run it in x64 on a 64-bit OS:

The VPC's were freezing in 64-bit?
Did you download the 64-bit version of Virtual PC?
"So there is no way at all?"
Just the two ways mentioned earlier, upgrade to 64-bit or Enterprise.
Also, as and235100 mentioned, you can try running VMWare.
