| I have a new server with 8GB of memory and I have Win2003 advanced server with SQL 2000 advanced server running on it.Do I need to use the /3GB switch in the boot.ini file as I would with Windows 2000?Thanks,Scooter McFly |

| AWE extensions is more to the point. The /3GB switch only takes memory from the OS and assigns it to user apps. You would need to enabled AWE to make use of the rest of your ram.-------Moo. :) |

| And that would be the /PAE switch. If it's a dedicated SQL Server (and not a Dell...they have issues with this switch for some reason), then you can use the /3GB switch also.MeanOldDBAderrickleggett@hotmail.comWhen life gives you a lemon, fire the DBA. |
