SQL Server has support for using AWE to gain access to more than the 2GB or 3GB of physical RAM that its process address space would allow on a 32-bit box. From what I can tell the MMU on the Opteron also has this capability on 32-bit code.

The MMU on 32 bit Xeons (and some other processors) will actually support more than 4GB of physical RAM, although a single process address space can only see 4GB at a time. Reducing the memory footprint of SQL Server would let me give Analysis Services more elbow room.ĮDIT: For those not familiar with it, AWE is a facility that allows you to control virtual-physical address mapping and page arbitrary physical memory in and out of the 4GB virtual address space of a process. As far as I can tell, the MMU for the Opteron running in 32-bit mode should support the 36-bit physical address space, much as a 32-bit Xeon.

I have an Opteron workstation that I could easily upgrade to 8GB or more, although it is not practical to move off 32-bit Windows XP Pro for the development environment. Using SQL Server 2005 developer edition on Windows XP pro (32-bit) I notice that the check box to enable AWE (Advanced Windowing Extensions) is enabled.
