Hi,

Metalink #231159.1 discusses the 2GB Windows virtual address space limitation.

It states as follows: "All memory allocations made by all user connections and background threads have to fit into 2GBs". (Unless the 3GB option is chosen in boot.ini)

If there are multiple Oracle instances (In a Windows 2003 4GB server), are they limited to a 2GB virtual address space as a whole, or is each Oracle instance limited to 2GB virtual address space, but all of the instances, as a whole, can access more than 2GB?

Thanks,
