Is AWE memory possible with SQL 2000 standard edition. Most doco says no but when using it with win2003 server Enterprise edition I cannot find an answer.

Specifics are:
current environment-->
win2k server sp4
4 gb ram
4 cpu
sql 2000 SE SP3

future environment -->
win2003 server EE SP1
8 GB RAM
8 CPU
sql 2000 SE SP3

Thank you

SQL 2000 standard edition is limited to 2GB. There is no way to use any more than that.

The 3GB switch does allow sql std to use more. The only thing to be aware of it allows ALL processes to use 3gb.

You are incorrect about this. SQL Standard will still only use 2GB.

EC is right SQL Standard will only use 2Gb, but SQL Enterprise can use more.
