The answer is very platform specific. For example, on a normal 32-bit Windows system, each process has a maximum of 2 GB to play with, but some of that is taken up by various .dlls. (And unfortunately, these are scattered throughout the range, and the Sun JVM insists on having contiguous space for the heap.) There is a boot option for some versions of Windows Server that changes the process virtual space to 3 GB, at the expense of some kernel capacity. I've seen 64-bit Sparc systems with Java heaps sized at hundreds of megabytes... - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
