What was referring to was this:

"/PAE 3 GB switch enabled in boot.ini"

It is self-contradictory. /PAE is not 3GB.

Also, you don't have enough memory to take advantage of AWE.

Thanks a lot Tom for the quick response. Can you please explain the reason
why you want to have that change so that I can have a better understanding
of
what's going on? Also, the target server has a Windows 2003 server in
comparison to the current server that is running on Windows 2000 server.

What would happen if the AWE is enabled? Thanks in advance.
