It's a lot smaller than that, but you can lower the attach address to
support larger SGAs. Go out to Oracle Metalink and search. There is
a doc out there that will give you instructions on how to lower the
attach address and thereby increase the size of your SGA. You could
also move up to 64-bit Oracle8i. HTH.
