Windows & DOS: Issues & Discussions

Hi There,

I have upgraded the DELL poweredge 2600 server memory from 2GB to 4GB. However, the memory only showed at 2GB of utilization. How to make sure that the server is full utilize of 4GB of memory. Is there the Virtual memory need to be reconfigure as this server is run on windows 2000 and SQL 2000. Appreciate on your help or advice.

cheers,

Here is a procedure I used on my XP laptop. I do not know if it will work on Windows 2000. But here it is anyway:

In explorer, highlight "My Computer", left click, and select "properties" to bring up the System Properties window. Click the "Advanced" tab. In the "Performance" area, click "Settings" to bring up the "Performance Options" window. Click the "Advanced" Tab here. In the "Memory usage" area, click the "System cache" radio button. Finally click apply.

This will expand your cache and it's the relevant setting I know. This setting enabled me to use most of my 1 GB.

Thanks for the reply. I had set the regedit from the following website.
