We just have a new computer with 20GB RAM with Windows 2003 Enterprise edition (32bit) and PAE configured for SQL Server 2000. The old one was Windows 2000 with 4gb ram. But SQL Server 2000 is much slower than the old one. SQL Server 2000 AWE is configured on the new one. Does any one have the similar case? any information will be appreciated. Thanks.
Welcome to the forum! http://sqlserver-qa.net/blogs/perftune/archive/2007/08/23/1678.aspx http://sqlserver-qa.net/blogs/perftune/archive/2007/12/28/3048.aspx SEe whether you have followed as per above linsk.
Hi, I think running on 64Bit Windows 2003 OS can use more Meomory and will help SQL 32 bit even with 2GB limitation?
Bear in mind SQL 2000 SE is limited to 2GB by default only other editions can take such an advantage provided what refered in that links.
Ok, what kind of performance hit you are having and I don't think SQL is not a root cause for them, its the code. http://sqlserver-qa.net/blogs/perftune/archive/2007/10/25/2549.aspx - think about recompiles http://sqlserver-qa.net/blogs/perftune/archive/2007/10/23/2558.aspx - about update statistics best practices http://sqlserver-qa.net/blogs/perftune/archive/2007/09/20/2152.aspx - if you struck with HIGH cpu here is the catch!
