Good Morning All,
We are currentling running 32-Bit Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Edition with 4 GigaByes of Ram. At the moment we are looking to fine tune our system somemore and with that said we are looking at the /3GB Switch. Thus meaning we are looking to reset the memory limit to 3GB instead of the defauly 2GB. From what I have found on 32-Bit versions of Windows, the /3Gb parameter enables 4-gigabyte random access memory tuning, a feature that enlarges the user-mode virtual address space to 3 GB and restricts the kernal-mode components to the remaining 1 GB. Oracle has suggested we do this in order to resolve some "Out of Memory" error messages we are recieving.
My question for you guys is what is being run on the User-Mode Virtual Address Space? What is being run on the Kernal-Mode? I want to make sure I am not going to be restricting the wrong processes.
