Hello All! :)
Just a quick follow up on this one - we converted the "test server" to 64 bit version... so far things going well... and running nicely... about to turn the app back over to the users!
Thanks for all the help and leads!

Architectural limit of 2GB per process is inherent in 32-bit Windows,
regardless of how much physical RAM in the box.
You can up this to 3GB per process by adding the /3GB switch to the
boot.ini file... this will allow 3GB for a process, but leaving the
Windows OS only 1GB to play in. Depending on your particular workload,
this may actually decrease your app performance if the OS becomes
starved. You can Google "Windows /3GB" and read all the pros and cons
of this switch.
If you are running SQL Server, you can install multiple instances of
SQL Server on a single Windows server, and each instance would get
2GB. That is about the only way to leverage all the RAM in that
system.
