Hi,

I have heard a few contradictory information regarding which switches to use
for different RAM config. So far I have the following list.

RAM < 8GB Use /3GB
RAM >= 8GB and < 16GB Use /3GB /PAE
RAM >= 16GB Use /PAE

All these systems use 32bit OS. The only application running is either SQL
2000 or SQL 2005.

Thank you.
 
Re: Boot.ini and RAM configuration.

To use the 3G, application must have a flag in their image (.exe) header.
Else it's useless. But it raise down the system to 1G, and that my hurt
hard.

RAM > 4G use /PAE or ram is useless

For using memory upper than 4G, the PAE is mandatory. To use it, application
still need to go throught the AWE API.
