On a system with 4 gigs of Ram why wouldn't you want to just disable the Paging Executive? A 4-8 gig page file is quite excessive. Second, what would spanning accomplish? Most likely, those partitions reside on the same physical drive/raid set. It's very rare to see multiple independent spindles in a Terminal Server.

I actually forgot to mention spanning of such a pagefile across partitions, preferably acros spindles. ----- Original Message ----- From: Newman, <mailto:Phil.Newman@xxxxxxxxxx> Phil To: 'thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Sent: Friday, October 10, 2003 9:46 AM Subject: [THIN] Re: NT memory Question The only thing I have come across with NT4 TSE with regard to lots of memory is that single page files in excess of 4Gb can cause the server to crash -----Original Message----- From: Spencer Sun [mailto:ssun@xxxxxxxx] Sent: 10 October 2003 15:05 To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: NT memory Question The biggest problem that I know of was the size of page file. It varied over time and among engineers, but page file for a TSE server was generally 1.5 to 2.5 times the size of physical RAM. As long as you can place a page file(s) on your system, you shouldn't have too much issue. I have placed 4GB systems in the field without issue. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jason Patten" <pattenj@xxxxxxxx> To: <thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, October 10, 2003 8:55 AM Subject: [THIN] NT memory Question > Are there any known issues with putting 4 Gigs of Ram in a NT4 TSE machine? > I have heard that it can cause some problems. > > Also, > we are preparing to put our First Win2K MF1.8 server in the farm, > any gotchas I need to be aware of? > > > ******************************************************** > This Week's Sponsor - Emergent Online > Essential Thin Client Utilities. > Meet Jim Kenzig of thethin.net at the Emergent Online > Booth #24 at Citrix iForum on October 13th. http://www.go-eol.com > ********************************************************** > Useful Thin Client Computing Links are available at: > http://thethin.net/links.cfm > New!
