Now to squeeze more money from you, just the OS restricts you to force you to upgrade.
Been that way well before the 32 bit/64 bit changes.
The same genious to work around should apply in either case, I am hoping.
So you want the OS to provide a mechanism for you to evade the OS's built in memory limits? o.O
In either case we don't need the OS to manage the memory, technically.
Except the OS did manage AWE memory... Hence why the PAE switch was required for the OS before SQL could have AWE enabled.
