We have New 64-bit SQL Server Enterprise Edition with 16GB of RAM. Should I enable 'Lock pages in Memory' or not? Does it affect the performance?

Do you suffer from page flushing?

Hi Schema,

For 64-bit SQL Server Enterprise edition , its recommended to turn on the option "Lock Pages in Memory" for better memory and paging management.

Best Regards,
SQL Buddy.
