max memory for 2003 & 2k

Hi all,
I have a Sql Server Enterprise edition running under Windows Server 2003,
Standard Edition, and my hardware supports up to 16 gigs of RAM.
Currently I am running fine with 4 gigs and switch /3GB. I was wondering
however if it would be possible to upgrade up to 16 gigs RAM with same
configuration, I mean, same sql & windows version, and only setting /PAE, AWE
and max memory for the server to 15.
Thanks in advance,
TristanI think Windows 2003 Server Standard edition only supports up to 4 GB of RAM.
