How can I use full memory in x64 OS with 32bit SQL

I have the following:
Windows Server 2003 Enterprise x64
SQL Server Enterprise x32
In order for SQL to use all 16 GB of ram available are there in special
settings such as /pae, /awe, or /3GB that I need to use?
When using certain monitor tools it shows my memory usage at 100 percent
when that doesn't seem right.
Hope that is enough info.
On 64-bit platforms, you don't use the /PAE /3GB switches. You do have to
use sp_configure:
sp_configure 'awe enabled', 1
go
reconfigure with override
go
sp_configure 'max server memory (MB)', 14336
go
reconfigure with override
go
Stop and start SQL Server. I chose the max memory of 14GB, since you should
leave 2GB for the OS.

awe enable is set to :
run value: 0
Config Value:0
Minimum: 0
Maximum: 1
Currently my "mas server memory" is set to :
run value: 2147483647
Config Value:2147483647
Minimum: 4
Maximum:2147483647
Does your suggestion remain the same or would I just removed the max server
portion of that statement?
