Oh, that's fine. Note that says W2K or .NET server. That is NOT the same as NT, the subject I was talking about.

AFAIK, there is no directly supported way (as in supported by M$ or Oracle, I seem to recall some kludge by Intel?) to go past 4Gb (3Gb program addressable space) in NT.
Which implicitly means I'm talking NT4 Server or 4ES.

John, you're running a very large NT system. Is it possible there?
