Hi Malcolm,

If the data sets that have to be manipulated are big enough, unless
your application is totally recoded you're probably stuck wih the
large memory requirement.

However provided you're in a position to run pure terminal services,
ther's nothing stopping you getting an opteron or intel Xeon EM64T
processor-based system, sticking in 16 GB of RAM and loading 64-bit
Windows. Quite a few Xeon systems already ship with the EM64T chip
installed so you might even have one to play with.

Your existing 32-bit code should run fine, but now you've got some
real memory to play with without the kernel space etc constraints of
32-bit windows.

regards,

Rick
