But when we look at the Processes in the task manager, only about 4 GB of the same is being Used. How do we make use of the other 8 GB in the server. We use SQL server 2005 for our activities where it is only using upto 2 GB of space... mahesh.velupula@relianceada.com Pl write to us back on the above specified EMAIL ID with any Info at all which could help in reviving the server Speed.

We use 32 Bit OS (Adv Svr Win 2003) Where about 16GB Physical Memory is available…

But when we look at the Processes in the task manager, only about 4 GB of the same is being Used. How do we make use of the other 8 GB in the server.

We use SQL server 2005 for our activities where it is only using upto 2 GB of space…

I hope you do not mind but I have linked to your article from my site. Cheers, John Hi Nick,

This is one of the best articles I have read on SQL Server Memory configuration optimisation!

A quick Google reveals that the /PAE switch is not supported on 64-bit Microsoft platforms, so there isn't much point in enabling the switch. FYI, a 64-bit machine has (theoretically) the capability of addressing 264 bytes (or 16 exbibytes) which is considered practically unlimited, being far more than the total amount of RAM ever manufactured.

I am running win 2003 server with 8gb of memory. I am also running SQl 2005. My system will not allow me to do anything because I keep getting memory issue problem.

Where is Part II? So, according to the AWE section, if AWE is enabled on SQL, SQL will not use the Page File virtual memory? Excellent!!! Where is Part II?
