i neglected to set AWE when I configured this Instance

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
<br />
This may sound like a very elementary question but I am kind of baffled so here goes.. <br />
<br />
I am running 4 Instances of SQL Server on one box. &nbsp; The Box is Windows 2008R2 64 bit with 24 GB of memory. &nbsp;There is one Default Instance of SQL Server 2005 x64, One of the named Instances is SQL Server 2005 x32 and the other two Instances are SQL Server 2005 x64. &nbsp; <br />
<br />
I have each configured to have a max memory setting of 2048mb. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
when I check the processes at the Server level, one of the sqlserver.exe processes is using 17GB of memory. &nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Obviously I have something configured wrong. Maybe I didn't enable AWE for one of the Instances?? &nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
<br />
How do I determine which Instance is the culorit and what do I do about it? &nbsp;
