I don't get what you've said is different from what I've said?
A poster I was replying to, apparently assumed that the total physical
memory (or even virtual) available to all applications is limited to 2 GB,
while the rest of the memory will only be used by a kernel.
I corrected him that every single process can get its own private 2 GB of
virtual space (the same as you've said), because other 2 GB are for OS use.
all applications in total. You will have 6GB of unused memory. The 2GB
ram that is used by windows will have to be shared among those 4
photoshop sessions that want 2GB each.
So you will have 6GB of unused memory and LOTS of paging.
Abolutely clueless. Start reading "Operating Systems for Dummies".
Once again: Win2K Pro and Server and WinXP physical memory limit is 4 GB
(not 2 GB).
People who continue after losing an argument are known as Trolls. We have a
low opinion of Trolls around here.
There is no Microsoft documentation that supports your claim "... windows
pro/windows server will use 2GB for all applications in total".
I have just posted a link in my other reply with a quote from
Microsoft stating exactly what I already told you.
Btw: I have a low opinion of people that just post clueless oneliners,
instead of joining a discussion and actually learning something.

Now you see what I was dealing with in the past. This is why I just
killfiled the lot of them and ignore the them when they do get through.
Hell, who can argue with Microsoft since they wrote the software?
Maybe this will resolve the question:

Let's say you have Windows 2000 Advanced Server with 8GB and PAE
enabled. If Photoshop doesn't use AWE and the /3GB switch is not
used, then it each instance of it is restricted to 4GB of virtual
address space, of which only 2GB are usable by the application and 2GB
are reserved for system objects.
If you have multiple instances of Photoshop, then each instance gets
the same 2GB application-usable virtual address space. Because
Windows 2000 Advanced Server can support 8GB of physical memory, then
it should be able efficiently to map virtual memory pages throughout
all (or most) of that 8GB range, regardless of whether that virtual
memory page is allocated for the application or the system, with the
excess mapped to the paging file.
I don't understand why this OS
would limit all application allocated pages to at most 2GB of the
physical memory, and page the rest out to the swap file.
Only Windows
95 has a 2GB limitation. At least that is my understanding.
Anyway, most of these applications that use large amounts memory can
be configured to use a temporary directory in one way or another,
because the file system size limits are much higher. So, a RAM-based
NAS would benefit these applications, because it would be mounted as a
drive.
perhaps more expensive, but the performance gain of that is far
larger.
When you have a application that really needs that much RAM, you most
likely also have a good business case for spending a bit more money on
a really effective solution.
month. Now it's you and Marc.
Before, you seemed to claim it's limited to 2 GB (while I tried to tell you
that the limitation is quite higher):
