I upgraded my server, a Dell Power-edge 2900, from 2 GB (4 sticks of 512 MB) to 10 GB (by adding 2 sticks of 4 GB). On the BIOS it shows the correct size of my ram but on Windows Server 2003 it shows only 4 GB ram size. Can it be fixed?

You must have Windows Server 2003 Standard 32-bit, which only supports 4gb RAM. You'll have to switch to 64-bit version (supports upto 32gb) or upgrade to Enterprise edition (supports upto 64gb).
Which version of windows server are you using? Datacentre, enterprise or standard? ( Windows Server 2003 standard edition supports a maximum of 4 GiB on X86. )
