/3GB switch on Win2003 Standard Ed (ORA-04030)

We've been having ORA-04030 instance crashes every 3-5 weeks since moving from 8.1.7 on NT to 10gR2 on a more powerful server, and Oracle's first recommendation is to use this switch but MS says it's not supported.

Does anyone have experience using this switch with the Standard Edition of 2003 in a production environment?

"Caution: Microsoft supports using the /3GB switch in Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition in a production environment for use by Active Directory. For other applications, Microsoft supports using the /3GB switch in Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition only in a production environment if the application vendor has tested in this environment and if the vendor is willing to support the customer who is using this functionality."
