| Hi.My understanding of memory best practices for SQL Server 2000 32-bit running on a machine with > 16 GB of RAM is: -- SQL Server AWE should be turned on -- /3GB switch in boot.ini should NOT be turned on -- /PAE sitch in boot.ini should be turned on -- SQL Server service account must have "lock pages in memory" privilegeWe have all these settings correct on a Windows 2003 SP1 Build 3790.SQL Server is only using 16 GB. I validated this by running Perfmon and looking at Target and Actual memory within the SQL Server:Memory Manager object.Is there any setting that is possibly wrong that limits SQL or the OS to only use 16 GB? Again, we DO NOT have /3GB turned on which is a common cause.Please help.Kindest Regards,Mike |
