its not really a windows problem. Any process (e.g. application executable) running under 32 bit Windows versions gets a set of virtual memory addresses (a Virtual Address Space) going from 0 to 4,294,967,295 (2*32-1 = 4 GB), no matter how much RAM is actually installed on the computer. Actually, this is essentially the same for all operating systems running on 32 bit hardware that implement Virtual Memory, including linux.
In the normal, default Windows OS configuration, 2 GB of this virtual address space are allocated to the process' private use and the other 2 GB are allocated to shared and operating system use. The only way to actually increase the size of the virtual address space beyond 4 GB is by using 64 bit hardware with an operating system and application built for that hardware. - Snake -----Original Message----- From: Denny Valliant [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 08 July 2006 02:18 To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: CFMX7 Multiserver on Apache Even if you're running server? Sheesh. No comment on whether or not people should tell people to use stuff other than windows... ;-) We just upgraded a whole lab of XP machines to 4 gigs. How sad we were to discover that 3gig limit. ;-( I'd thought it would work on server though... Oh well. There's all kinds of silly stuff in the tech world. Fax modems that don't fax- but nobody complains, 640k memory limits, 8088 over risc or whatever that was... Makes one laugh at times. Cry at others.
