We just upgraded the memory of our database server from 2GB to 4GB. And its OS is windows 2003 standard and sql is 2005 standard edition. According to microsoft(http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143685.aspx and http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa366778.aspx#physical_memory_limits_windows_server_2003), this configuration should allow database use up to 4 GB memory. My question is : Do I need to do anything(such as: adjust the maximum memory in management studio) to let our server be able to consume this extra 2 GB memory?


Does this solution http://support.microsoft.com/kb/274750 apply for SQL server 2005?

use the /3GB switch in the boot.ini and the SQL Server will be able to address 3GB of your 4GB.
