What I should put /pae or /3GB in my boot.ini to make AS use 3GB in AS2000
and why?
Can you also give the whole string which has /pae or /3GB entry

Thank a lot - Ashok

Use /3GB.
As for the reason why, you can search for the information about how OS
handles the memory available to a single 32bit process.

Edward - Thanks again. Looks /3GB worked.
Now I have to explain this to my systems guy because he likes /pae then /3GB
which doesn't work at least in my case.
