Can someone lend a hand at explaining the correct reading of memory on SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition. I have a windows 2003 server (sp2) running SQL Server 2000 enterprise edition. The server has 28 GB of memory. When I launch Enterprise manager it display 28503(MB). When I look at the amount SQLServr.exe is taking via taskmgr I see < 1,759,000K. In perfmon, Total Server Memory (KB) "maximum" displays < 1664500. sp_configuration doesn't show "AWE" as enabled. Windows Server 2003 doesn't have /3GB or /PAE set in the boot.ini. I also read if a have SQL SERVER 2000 with SP4 and AWE enabled that SQL Server can only access up to 8GB. I would have to apply a fix to resolve the latter bug (Article ID 899761).

Thanks

Can anyone tell me how to best use this 28GB of memory for this database server.

Thanks

You need put /pae in boot.ini file and enable awe in sql, then set max memory.
