Re: Breaking the 2GB barrier

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Note that vs2003 only "produces" X86 code, more exactly , the V1.1 JIT compiler only emits X86 code.
Anyway, all X86 code that runs on X64 (WOW64) has access to 4GB of user memory, provided that you have set the LARGEADDRESSAWARE header flag.
LARGEADDRESSAWARE can be set by means of the editbin.exe tool from the platform SDK, like this:
editbin /LARGEADDRESSAWARE <progamfile>

Another question. If I run editbin /LARGEADDRESSAWARE on my vs2003 compiled app, can it now access more than 2GB on the Windows Server 2003 (32-bit standard or enterprise edition)? The Windows Server is setup with the /3GB switch.

Thanks.
