This solution is only available to members.

The Operating System in general will only be able to make use of the full 12GB if you have installed and are using the 64-bit edition of Windows Server 2008. If you have the 32-bit edition, only 4GB of RAM can be used - maximum.
So, should you be running the 64-bit edition of Windows Server 2008, then yes, SQL Server can utilise the majority of the 12GB of RAM (some will obviously be used by the Operating System).
