the /USERVA switch is restricting this for applications, /USERVA=2990 means that 2990 Mbytes are allowed for applications, the differential amount is reserved for the OS (for things like PCI mapping and so on).

Be aware the /3GB switch is only valid from Service Pack 3, if you have just SP1 expect some bad times - don't do it!
