macromedia.com / adobe.com has been running ColdFusion with heap sizes > 2Gb on Solaris for years - this is not about 32-bit vs 64-bit but rather how the O/S & chipset address memory. 32-bit non-Windows systems are perfectly capable of addressing 4Gb and therefore can run CF with a heap in the 3Gb range. Now there's a question as to whether you really want to use such a large heap: it means longer GC cycles and "lumpier" performance. In many ways, you're better off with the smallest heap that can handle your peak load since that will give you much better GC performance... -- Sean A Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ "If you're not annoying somebody, you're not really alive." -- Margaret Atwood ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Get involved in the latest ColdFusion discussions, product development sharing, and articles on the Adobe Labs wiki. http://labs/adobe.com/wiki/index.php/ColdFusion_8 Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:285622 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
