Hi All
I am running Windows 2000 Advanced Server with SQL 2K
Enterprise. I now have 8 GB of RAM and am using the /3GB
switch in the BOOT.INI file. I want to enable AWE within
SQL but some documentation says that the /PAE switch is
also required within the BOOT.INI file. Is this correct?
I don't want to use the /PAE unless I have to.
Will the /3GB switch, together with enabling AWE in SQL
allow SQL to see all but 128MB of the 8GB of RAM (i.e.
no /PAE)?
Many thanks

Sample boot.ini for 8GB memory usage:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microso ft Windows 2000 Advanced Server" /fastdetect /PAE
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Microso ft W2K 2000 Advanced Server" /fastdetect /PAE

|||No. Without PAE the server only sees up to 4GB.
