Hi Everyone,
Just FYI, I threw together a quick article about my findings regarding the
4GB memory limit in Windows.
The down and dirty is:
(1) Do NOT under any circumstances use the /3GB or /4GT boot.ini switches on
a Terminal Server
(2) Using the /PAE boot.ini switch will severely LIMIT your number of PTEs
(which are really needed in TS environments). Since PAE is required when
more than 4GB of memory is installed, I would recommend that Terminal
Servers do NOT have more than 4GB of memory.
(3) The "64-bit" memory addressing model that's used when PAE is enabled
does NOT remove the 2GB kernel memory limit.
A question: Does anyone run Terminal Servers with more than 4GB of RAM? If
so, I'd like to talk to you off list. I have a few questions about why you
went that route and what your experiences with it are.
