Allan, /3GB switch caused a lot of problems on a Citrix server one time since the Citrix sessions still use Kernel process space and it is very easy to run out especially with /3GB and no more sessions can be created even though there is plenty of RAM available. A "consultant" told us that this was the best way to handle this server and of course management said to do it. After that, I spend a fair amount time learning all of the issues involving memory and Citrix so that I could "advise" management on what really worked.
Todd Further complicated because the 32-bit Windows splits the memory into a "user space" and a "kernel space". The user space is available to applications and the kernel space is used by Windows itself and device drivers. By default up to 2GB will be allocated to user space. If you put the /3GB switch in the boot.ini file, you change that to allow 3GB to be available to user applications. This is often done with single-purpose machines (servers) that do little else but run one piece of software, such as SQL Server, in order to give more RAM to the software.
