We may be AWEsome but we don't use AWE
On the SQL server sp4 page it lists a warning about patching if you have AWE:
Warning: Microsoft has found an issue with the final build of SP4 that impacts customers who run SQL Server with Address Windowing Extensions (AWE) support enabled. This issue only impacts computers with more than two gigabytes (2 GB) of memory where AWE has been explicitly enabled. If you have this configuration, you should not install SP4. Microsoft is currently working on the problem and will issue an update soon.
Now I know SBS is AWEsome, but I don't know about having AWE.
Well the good news is we don't have it, as it's only in SQL 2000 Enterprise.
