Memory for TS in W2K 2003

This may not be the correct place to ask so I apologize if this is the wrong
group.

I was reading the tscaling.doc and they were talking about 32bit memory
addressing
and the memory being split 2GB for the kernel and 2GB for the rest.

My question is how does W2K with TS address the memory above the 4GB mark?

I looked in technet but must have used incorrect search parameters.

Any links would be greatly appreciated.

THanks,

moncho
 
As does Windows Server 2003 w/ 2GB for system & 2GB for user processes, so when you hit the 2GB mark it's time to scale out to a second machine. There are programs like RTOSoft's TScale that optimize the memory usage to get more users on one machine but there's no way to put 600 sessions (just an example) on one box unless you partitioned an 8 way machine w/ 16GB RAM into several virtual servers each with 2CPUs & 4GB RAM. I still wouldn't do this because it's a single point of failure that could potentially affect a lot of users
