I have been testing the /3GB switch with IDS 9.4 on Windows 200 Advanced Server. I changed no settings in the onconfig file. The engine core dumped twice in less than a week. I reverted back to 2GB and again everything is fine. Is there some setting that needs to be set somewhere to allow the /3GB usage? Any help would be appreciated.

I am not sure about Windows environment, but did you guys turn on "Expanded chunk capacity mode".

Just a quick addition. The 2GB limit is on the oninit process with the engine itself. The chunks and the 2 GB limit there is different than what I am testing here. Thanks.
