Yep... Seems to be a limitation that raises when managing huge amounts
of memory (4GB) in such services like Metaframe. But maybe its a
limitation of the 32 bit memory addresing scheme rather than the OS
itself. Yes, it can manage >4GB but its just a patch.

Sounds like this may be more due to the operating system than the
processor?

"Test results validated HP's belief that, as processor speeds increase,
the System Page Table Entry (PTE)/System Address Pool limitation
inherent in the 32-bit Windows 2000 operating system would be reached.
In this particular test environment, two-way ProLiant DL380 G3 2.8GHz
servers with hyper-threading enabled were limited to 175 users. This is
the first time that a two-way server has been able to sustain such a
workload while demonstrating the impact of the System PTE/System Address
Pool limitation on server performance."

(Somebody want to explain what that means - Stan?)
