Yes, but I'm thinking you can do it on your present operating system. I don't see anything in the references that excludes Windows 2000 Standard. You can set the 3GB switch in your boot.ini file which will allow you to go up to 3 gig. The reference to the Oracle doc is here: http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/win.920/a95490/archite c.htm You can find more out by searching on VLM for (Very Large Memory) configurations. -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Luc Demanche Sent: Tuesday, February 21, 2006 3:57 PM To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Windows 2003 Standard Edition and the 2G limit Hi, We are facing problem with ORA-04030 on Windows 2000 Standard Edition with Oracle 9.2 We have 4G of RAM on the server, but Windows can not handle process bigger then 2G. We have adjusted our SGA, PGA to fit in that 2G limit. But we want to use more of the RAM. If we migrate to Windows 2003, will we be able to use more than 2G of RAM ?
