You do not need /3GB to activate AWE.

To activate AWE on 32bit system you need to add /3GB boot parameter
and /PAE switch to the boot.ini file and reboot the server. This is
required to enable operating system support of more than 4 GB of
physical memory.
AWE behaves differently depending on the underlying operating system
"only" because win2003 os supports dynamic allocation of AWE-mapped
memory.
