That’s not 100% correct Nick. Using Enterprise Edition you can enable /PAE in
the boot.ini so that the “System” will see all the RAM. No apps will be able to
address the memory above 4GB, but the System will use it as virtual memory.
There have been many studies done that say that this will provide a
considerable performance boost. I would still start with a 4GB page file, but
you may be able to decrease this or remove it altogether. However, if you still
want to enable kernel memory dumps, leave an 850MB page file on the System
drive. You would never do a full memory dump!
Cheers,
Jeremy.

The x86 OS will only see 3gb Ram in any case so you don't need to worry too
much.

Hi
Im building new Windows 2003 Enterprise servers with XenApp 4.5 (32
bit). Servers have 16Gb RAM. Hardware was originally sized for x64 but we
must go with x86. How big should the swap file be if server has 16Gb RAM? If
I follow the RAM X 1.5 rule I will end up with a 24GB swap which seems like
overkill. I have the disk space but was wondering what the best practice is or
if there are dissadvantages in using a large swapfile.
Thanks
Angela
