  • Greetings,

    It depends how your instance is setup and the operating system.

    I suggest you give more details or read up on AWE. 🙂

    Best way to check is right-click on the instance name,properties,memory page.

    Then to see the usage of the memory, use the performance monitor and the SQL memory counter.

    Thank you

  • At 20GB, you'll need to know PAE as well.

    Be sure you add lock pages in memory as a right.
