enabling AWE

After enabling awe and setting the max server memory, the
Task Manager, Process for sqlserver.exe shows 90MB - is
this normal? I have configured sql server to use 6GB!!!!
How can I be sure the memory is set up correctly?
CBUse perfmon and view the sql server memory counters instead of task manager.
Specifically the target and total memory should show approx 6GB. Did you
set the /PAE switch in the boot.ini as well? How about the /3GB?
