    But if you look at

    ms-help://MS.SQLCC.v9/MS.SQLSVR.v9.en/instsql9/html/09bcf20b-0a40-4131-907f-61479d5e4d8.htm

    in BOL it reads "Operating system maximum".

    To me 3GB looks more like a limit imposed by Windows 32 bit architecture on an x86 machine. Has anyone tried installing SQL 2K5 Workgroup on a 64 bit machine with a 64 bit OS and attempted to push it past 3GB? The same BOL article mentioned above says it is supported on Windows Server 2003 x64 Standard/Enterprise/Datacentre (all SP1) and Vista x64 Business/Enterprise/Ultimate through WOW64. Unfortunately I neither have the time nor the resources to try it myself. Any volunteers?
