Memory configuration

  • Hi,

    What is the max memory support for SQL server 2000(32 bit)

    when i came across technet i got this information

    Operating System Enterprise EditionStandard EditionPersonal EditionDeveloper Edition"Desktop Engine

    (MSDE 2000)"

    Windows 2000 DataCenter64 GB 2 GB 2 GB 64 GB 2 GB

    SQL Server CEEnterprise Evaluation Edition

    N/A 64 GB

    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa933149(v=sql.80).aspx

    If i use operating system as Windows NT 4.0 Server RAM is limited to 2 GB ?

    so if my operating system is Windows 2000 DataCenter (32) bit can i use 64 GB of RAM?

    Any suggestions on this.

  • The documentation is correct (unsurprising)

  • Thanks Gail for replaying in this SQL 2000 forum.

    So if i am using Windows 2000 DataCenter as 32 bit OS , can it take 64 GB of RAM.

  • If that's what the documentation says, then that's what it can take.
