XGEN: Scalability Planning for Exchange 2000 Server (Q298064) http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q298064 Tony www.activedir.org ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: "Parker, Edward" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Fri, 17 May 2002 09:58:31 -0500 This basically allocates 3GB to User mode apps and 1GB to Kernel. By default this would be 2GB / 2GB. So without the switch the Store.exe will run out of RAM sooner even if there is additional memory available, since it is not allocated to user mode apps. If Store.exe runs out of addressable space, you would have to restart the service. So without it...you would not be getting the additional RAM for Exchange. -----Original Message----- From: Lori Demkovich [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, May 17, 2002 9:44 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] /3GB switch We have several multi-processor win2k member servers with 4GB of memory. (mail servers) Because they are standard server, I know that I shouldn't use the /3GB switch in the boot.ini. Can anyone explain to me why I should upgrade to advanced server? Am I not getting the full value of the 4GBs of memory installed? Thanks in advance for the education!
