Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: Windows 2003 Standard Edition and the 2G limit
This is strange. Maybe it is because of Windwos Editions? November 2002 I installed Oracle 9i RAC on nodes with 6 GB RAM on Windows2000 Enterprise. All the memory was visible, but only 2GB usable by process (3 GB with /3GB switch in boot.ini). More memory can be used with Address Windowing Extensions (AWE)
