Memory Limitations Exchange 2000 Server works well with the /3GB switch. Note Exchange 2000 Server requires that the /3GB switch be used in conjunction with Windows 2000 Advanced Server and Windows 2000 Datacenter Server on hardware with more that 1 GB of physical RAM installed. For more information, see the "/3GB" and the "Additional Resources" sections of this document. Exchange 2000 Server does not support instancing (the ability to run multiple instances of an application as separate processes on the same computer) or Physical Address Extension (PAE), which limits Exchange 2000 Server to about 3 GB of usable memory. Installing more than 3 GB of physical memory on a computer running only Exchange 2000 Server is not recommended because the additional memory does not result in a measurable improvement of server performance. However, if you are running other memory intensive applications in conjunction with Exchange 2000, such as Microsoft SQL Server, then increasing the physical memory size beyond 3 GB can provide greater server performance -----Original Message----- From: Andrey Fyodorov Sent: Wednesday, August 14, 2002 9:22 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Exchange 2000 Ent require Win2K Server Advanced? I heard Exchange could not efficiently take advantage of more than 4GB of RAM. -----Original Message----- From: Tom Meunier [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, August 13, 2002 6:33 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Exchange 2000 Ent require Win2K Server Advanced? Win2k Server is fine. As long as you're happy with 4 or less CPUs and 4 or less GB of system RAM. The only reason to go to Advanced is to increase to 8cpus, 8GB RAM, clustering. http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/serverfamily/default.asp > -----Original Message----- > From: Orin Rehorst [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Posted At: Tuesday, August 13, 2002 05:21 PM > Posted To: MSExchange Mailing List > Conversation: Exchange 2000 Ent require Win2K Server Advanced? > Subject: Exchange 2000 Ent require Win2K Server Advanced? > > > Exchange 2000 Net require Win2K Server Advanced, or will > Win2k Server standard do?
