I asked several times and never got a clear answer, also, reading about it never made sense as in reality it didn't work accordingly. Anyway, instead of spinning around I'll just go to the bottom line: Windows Server 2008 64-bit OS with 24GB RAM running MS SQL Server 2005 64-bit SE - should I check the AWE box or not? I would like to assign 22GB to SQL Server and already set the parameters accordingly, but not sure the AWE box.

Thanks

No you do not since you are using 64-bit.
