Hi Marcel, > Not entirely true, using a processor feature called PAE (Physical > address extension) some Windows server version can address more memory > (up to 64GB). That's the patch I was thinking of, but I was under the impression it only allowed an extra i GB of RAM to be addressed. As an Oracle DBA I have had occasion to use this on a Windows 2000 Server box to get the extra RAM utilised by the database. We had to patch Windows, patch Oracle and even then could only use 1 GB and only for the buffer cache. Hmmmm, I wonder if you are talking about something different to what I remember.

Never got anything to work properly. :-( Cheers, Norman. _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
