SQL Server 2008: Use AWE to allocate memory

$
0

I've inherited a server with SQL 2008 Enterprise installed. The OS is 32 bit Win 2008 Enterprise with 12G of memory installed. I noticed the memory usage is near 90% which I think is normal correct? I also noticed the option Use AWE to allocate memory is not checked off. From what I've googled, this should be checked on 32 bit systems with >4GB RAM so this applies to my situation so is there any reason not to do this?
