Guest Dragon Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 Hi, I have heard a few contradictory information regarding which switches to use for different RAM config. So far I have the following list. RAM < 8GB Use /3GB RAM >= 8GB and < 16GB Use /3GB /PAE RAM >= 16GB Use /PAE All these systems use 32bit OS. The only application running is either SQL 2000 or SQL 2005. Thank you.
Guest Mathieu CHATEAU Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 Re: Boot.ini and RAM configuration. To use the 3G, application must have a flag in their image (.exe) header. Else it's useless. But it raise down the system to 1G, and that my hurt hard. RAM > 4G use /PAE or ram is useless For using memory upper than 4G, the PAE is mandatory. To use it, application still need to go throught the AWE API. -- Cordialement, Mathieu CHATEAU http://lordoftheping.blogspot.com "Dragon" <noSpam_baadil@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:%23TYEJI16HHA.4736@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > Hi, > > I have heard a few contradictory information regarding which switches to > use for different RAM config.
