Jon, Well, yes, but be extremely careful. Here are some notes: 1) If you have 2 GB total on the box, then you *can't* dedicate 2GB solely for ColdFusion. Other applications (like the OS) need their own RAM allocations. JVMs use continuous memory spaces, which means that it will need 2GB of *continuous* space in RAM to work. If there's isn't 2 full GB of RAM available, it'll use 2GB of swap space instead (if there's even enough), and will kill your performance. 2) You don't note the OS you're using. If it's Windows, there is a limit to the amount of RAM that can be allocated to a JVM Heap (I think it's 1.4 GB) due to a continuous memory address limitation on that platform. 3) You will need to create a separate jvm.config file, which ColdFusion uses as its "template" to determine how much memory, etc., to allocate. I would suggest searching around for performance tuning articles to help you out, as this is a very complicated area.
