Is /PAE present in BOOT.INI?
No. Here's the file in case it might be helpful.
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows Server 2003, Enterprise" /noexecute=optout /fastdetect
Can you post the output of this batch:
select physical_memory_in_bytes, virtual_memory_in_bytes,bpool_committed, bpool_commit_target, bpool_visible
from sys.dm_os_sys_info
EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1
RECONFIGURE
EXEC sp_configure 'awe enabled'
EXEC sp_configure 'max server memory'
physical_memory_in_bytes: 17169162240

The paper you really need to read is:
A Guided Tour to Approximate String Matching
GONZALO NAVARRO
Perhaps this article will help you: Fuzzy-String Search: Find misspelled information with T-SQL
Thanks for the references and suggestions. I'm comparing so many strings that I probably won't be able to simply use a Levenstein algorithm.
