Sounds good, 2MiB should be what Windows uses for "large pages" on processors that have these (in PAE mode or on x86_64). I'm not sure if it still needs nudging to boot w/ PAE enabled, it would use 4MiB large pages when not in PAE mode, but the large pages are not exposed to the application layer on Win2000 and WinXP anyway.
