We're setting up an (SCM) application that uses Informix 10; both on a new (yet to be spec'd out) Windows 2003 enterprise server box. The current production box has 10GB RAM, 4 CPUs, and a 2046MB paging file. Currently the boot.ini has the '/PAE' switch in place, but not the '/3GB' switch. Would it be better to have both /PAE and /3GB? Is our page file big enough? Is informix able to take advantage of the '/PAE' switch? This may or may not require that Informix know about the AWE api (pls let me know). Our application vendor asked that the RESIDENT flag be set to 1. oninit shows ~900,000K in use. -- thank you

If it's yet to be spec'd out it's not too late to repent and use Linux instead. You'll be sorry if you don't.

It does not take advantage of PAE or AWE, you are stuck with /3GB which allows you to use something like 2.7GB of the whole. j. Sane ego te vocavi.
