indeterminate.
MS W2K8 Server R1 is available in both 32 and 64 bit editions. If you were to install MS W2K8 Server R1 32 bit Enterprise Edition, 8 GB would be recognized.

btw, 8 GB of physical memory today is the equivalent of 2 GB with W2K. Expect the OS cache to have all of that allocated by default. How much memory do you expect to allocate to user apps, such as oracle.exe?

I was not able to install Oracle 10g R2 on MS W2K8 R2 x64 Standard Edition. Prior to the Metalink changeover, its support status in Certify was listed as "projected".

Install on MS Windows Server 2008 R1 x64 Standard Edition. It will recognize up to 32 GB of physical memory.

How many cores/threads does that server have? If you have less than say 2 GB per core I'd start by requesting more physical memory.

I didn't look that one up under "Certify" before the MOS cutover and I can certify that I can't get to that part of MOS now.
