8Gb RAM for SQL Server 2000 on Win 2003

What the setting should be (/3Gb, PAE, AWE) for the best utilization of
8GB RAM for SQL Server 2000 running on Win 2003?
Thanks
Hi,
After this you will have to do this:-
Probably you could configure 6 GB for SQL Server: Login as SA using query
analyzer and do:-
sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1
RECONFIGURE
GO
sp_configure 'awe enabled', 1
RECONFIGURE
GO
sp_configure 'max server memory', 6144
RECONFIGURE
GO
Thanks

|||Thanks for your reply, Hari. Does it mean I need to use both /3GB and
/PAE switches for this configuration?

|||You need to use PAE (and SQL Server use AWE) to have 32 but app on 32 bit OS access > 2GB memory.
Whether you use 3GB or not is up to you. For a system with 8BG memory, it is probably a good idea to
use 3GB. Google for "Slava Oks" and read the Blogs, this will give you more information so you
understand the ins and outs of setting 3GB, PAE and also AWE.

I thought non enterprise version didn't address this much RAM?
