How do I tell that this is installed?
Is it as simple as "if windows recognizes the 3gb then it's installed" ?
Is there a way I can verify it by going into the environment variables and check the system variables for it?
Thanks
Mike

Go to Programs, Accessories, System tools, System Information. Look for Total Virtual Memory, it should say 2 or 3gb depending if the switch is actually on or not. With the 3gb switch enabled I usually get to about 2.8 gb before everything hoses up. Thats with 2gb of ram, I don't know if it makes any differece with the amount of ram that you have.

I use WinXP pro 64bit. It can use 64 gigs (AFAIK). But I never reached 3 gigabytes.

AFAIK there is also a limitation on TRUE 64-bit systems like SGI IRIX. I think there are problems when memory usage is getting close to or higher than 2Gb. Maybe that is a 'feature' PTC has added to make it 'better' and Windows compatible.
