Run the SBS Best Practices Analyzer and it will tell you that SBS does not support the /3GB switch. It will also find other things for you to change to optimize your SBS server.

And check this article out for Exchange Memory optimization.

Using the /3GB switch actually cuts the amount of specialized core memory (already limited) in half, and makes it much more likely that you will have regular OWA timeouts and IIS hangs, particularly if you also have any Symantec products loaded. Never run the /3GB switch on an Exchange server.

Another reason why moving to 64-bit hardware is really a great thing.
