Dear all,
I have some issue and I’ll be happy to hear some ideas.

1. I have 12GB RAM in my windows 2003 SBS server (Dell power edge 2900)
2. My SQL server is SQL server 2005 Enterprise.
3. I am using large DBs
4. In my Boot.ini file I put the /PAE switch.

When I leave the AWE options (in SQL server) unchecked I see in the task manager that “sqlserver” process allocate 1.7GB (never more than that-even if I set maximum memory 8GB in SQL properties)

Now,
when I checked the AWE options I see in the task manager that “sqlserver” process allocate ONLY 70MB RAM!!!

Any idea?

What is the recommend setting to set in Boot.ini and in SQL server (AWE) for 12GB RAM?


Sincerely
Benn.jacobs@gmail.com
