Maximum Memory Settings for Analysis 2005

Dear Anyone,

We have a live machine with an Analysis Services 2005 (32 bit) installed. The machine has been running for a couple of months. They recently upgraded to 8GB (formerly 4GB). It seems that the 32 bit version of MSAS 2005 does not support 8GB or memory. Can anyone please suggest memory settings to maximize the use of the 8GB of memory in the server? Or does anyone know of the maximum memory setup that we can give Analysis Services 2005?

Thanks,

Joseph

AS2K5 is not AWE-aware. As such, its capabilities are based on the underlying OS' virtural address space limitations. The general limits are (32-bit):

2GB -- with an OS that doesn't support the /3GB switch in boot.ini

3GB -- with /3GB enabled in the OS

4GB -- running on an x64 system under WOW

Otherwise, to go more, you need to run in native 64-bit using either x64 or ia64 hardware.
