Sorry... That should have read "...make use of 2GB on a 32bit windows box...."

Windows cannot address more than 2gb of contiguous memory address space. That certainly affects the JVM to be sure because the JVM needs contiguous space to run. But you CAN make use of more than 2GB on a 32gb windows box. For example, you can put 32Gigs on it and run 24 instances of ColdFusion in multi-server mode - each with a contiguous block of memory (see what I mean). As for SQL server, windows and SQL work together hand in glove on memory and adding more will almost certainly help MSSQL. That may or may not solve your problem, but it's important to know in any case :) Finally, windows 64 bit has freed itself from the "contiguous block" shackle that has bound it lo these many years. -Mark Mark A.

Is it worth bumping up to 3 or 4? I know that at one point Windows couldn't address more than 2gb of ram, but I think that's no longer the case, though it is for CF (unless CF8 can now address more than 2gb?).
