| Should I Use The /3GB In My BOOT.INI With Virtual Server |

The answer is: No, you should not use the /3GB switch. This option is usually recommended for applications that need lots of memory - it increases the amount of user-mode virtual memory available from 2GB to 3GB. However it does this by reducing the amount of kernel-mode virtual memory from 2GB to 1GB. And unlike most applications - [Virtual Server] uses a lot of kernel-mode virtual memory - in fact even without the /3GB switch users are most likely to run out of kernel-mode virtual memory before running out of user-mode virtual memory.
