RE: ok one for you windows/oracle people out there

Joe,

>From an old posting I made about a year ago (& I hope it is still correct):
"

As for Very Large Memory (VLM) support under NT / Windows 2000 I have a copy of a document posted to this list (paper called "Oracle8i on Windows NT/2000: Architecture, Scalability, and Tuning April, 2000" that states a Xeon is required for VLM support (in addition to requiring NT Enterprise Edition under v4). However, 4GB RAM Tuning (4GT)is available using just Enterprise Edition and it will provide 3GB of memory to applications as opposed to 2GB - the MS Web site states that VLM and 4GT are incompatible.

The Oracle documentation (817 Admin guide for Windows Ch 10) states that ESMA (VLM under NT 4) "is only available on Intel Pentium II and Pentium III Xeon 32-bit processors" and the Intel site (http://support.intel.com/support/performancetools/pse36/tti/softrequ.htm) seems to confirm that a Xeon is required. "

I haven't used 4GT or ESMA / VLM as I haven't needed to.

Also, does your machine actually have memory available? Eg open up Task Manager - What does phys mem available show.

	And for commit charge - how does total and peak compare to your limit?
	And is your limit less than or more than 2 Gb?

How much memory does the server have?

Hope this helps as some starting questions.

Regards,
Bruce Reardon

PS - Have you written that logminer book yet ? :-)

Whenever more users logon to the database we get Oracle error 'out of process memory' and the process fails. It indicates that OS could not allocate memory for the process. For Windows NT Enterprise Edition a feature 4 GB Memory Tuning is available.

Anyone know anything about it, does it work, etc?

thanks, joe
