[SQLDownUnder] 64bit users x86

[Greg Wood]

Hi,

I need some advice/experience from some other users in the 64bit world.

We have just setup a new server
4 way Xeon 64bit
16 GB Memory
Windows 2003 Standard Server x64 Edition
SQL Server 2000 64bit with sp4 and AWE patch(http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=7C407047-3F1F-48B8-9E4C-DC32875E1961&displaylang=en)

We cannot get sq server process to move over the 4gig memory mark(hangs around the 3.8), I can see in the start up the machine reports
[310] 8 processor(s) and 4096 MB RAM detected

I have had a read of IBM's document and point 4.2.3 tells me that i should go to the Enterprise edition http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redpapers/pdfs/redp3982.pdf

Will rebuilding the OS solve this problem or is it a waste of time - project due in 10 days. Any advice would be welcomed
