Exactly, I was pricing out a new db server at work, and the difference in cost on a $7000 or so machine was something like $250 or so to go from 16G to 32G of RAM. I also can't imagine running a large pgsql server on windows, even 64 bit windows. -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
