Windows 2000 Boot.ini Options
This is a discussion about Windows 2000 Boot.ini Options in the Customization Tweaking category; So does anybody have any experience with using the /3GB switch with Windows 2000 Pro ?!? I recently added a pair of matching 1GB memory modules to my file server running just Win 2K Pro and not any of the server flavors.

I recently added a pair of matching 1GB memory modules to my file server running just Win 2K Pro and not any of the server flavors.
I've read some info on these switches to help with allocating more User Mode Application Memory space but everything seems to point to using only the Server flavors.
Any advice would be appreciated, thanks

I hate replying to myself but I guess nobody has ever used that switch or it's not functional under Windows 2000 Pro ?!?
I did read that the switch is there for the server flavors of Windows 2000 but nothing is mentioned about the desktop OS.

Thanks for the info, I was going to try the /3GB switch to see if it made any difference or not.
If I run into any issues I can always take it out...
