Why is it not a best practice when there is only one SQL instance? Linchi "Riccardone" wrote: Ok, I try to explain in other words: 'max server memory' is cleary an sql option On win2000 server Microsoft "strongly recommend" to set max server memory option always to optimize AWE enabled system. On win2003 server, setting the min and max server memory options are "only" a best pratice when there are more than one instance on a node or in case of a fail over occours. regards Riccardo di Nuzzo On 24 Giu, 18:05, Linchi Shea <LinchiS...

It's generally a good idea to cap the SQL Server buffer pool size (and set the min server memory) so that you avoid all this give-and-take of memory at the OS level.

(When AWE is not enabled the amount of physical memory left for other applications can be controlled by max server memory.) For Windows Server 2003, the AWE mapped memory management is dynamic, so that only a small portion of the total available physical memory is allocated during startup. ---------------------------------------------------- Regards Riccardo di Nuzzo On 23 Giu, 07:12, "Uri Dimant" <u...
