• Just in case, because the article is not very clear on this point, if you enable AWE in the SQL Server instance you should absolutely set max server memory using sp_configure:

    EXEC sys.sp_configure

    @configname = 'max server memory (MB)',

    @configvalue = ####; -- something sensible that leaves memory for the OS to operate

    GO

    RECONFIGURE;

    GO
