You could try booting Windows with the /3G option. That will get you a little more - say 100 to 200 Mb (VOE) - not what you would really expect. Everyone else is correct. If you really need a significantly larger heap, you will need to go to a 64-bit OS and Java implementation. I am in the process of doing this now for some installs of our app.

Apache Tomcat 6.0.16 Apache Httpd server 2.059 with mod_jk Using JVM 1.6.0_06 Current setting for the JVM used by tomcat is as follows: Initial Memory pool - 768MB Max Memory pool - 1536MB Is there a way to go beyond 2GB for the max memory pool on the above platform? Would Unix allow me to allocate more memory to tomcat (JVM)?
