    RAM 8GB

    CPU 2 *2 (4 logical CPUs)

    now i want to increase paging size to 1.5 times of RAM i.e 12GB

    but its not allowing me to do so as PAE is not enabled

    Kindly suggest step by step procedure to enable PAE &

  • Try Google.

    Good search terms would be "enabling PAE Windows Server 2003" and "enabling AWE SQL 2005". Additionally you could look in Books Online.

    Why is this urgent?

  • "This dynamic AWE example does not apply to SQL Server 2000"

    Try this, Check books online for more Info

    sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1

    RECONFIGURE

    --To enable AWE

    sp_configure 'awe enabled', 1

    RECONFIGURE

    GO

    EnjoY!
  • I got here as quick as I could.........:-)

    in the awe enabled you will need reconfigure WITH OVERRIDE

    yes enable lock pages in memory for the account SQL runs under.

    set max memory in SQL to no more than 6GB. I don't have SQL2000 where I can check this but AWE is definitely not dynamic in SQL2000 so set min and max memory to the same value to fix the memory.

    enable the /3GB switch on boot.ini. (as you only have 8Gb memory total)
