I have a web server with Windows 2000 OS installed on it
and it has 3 gigabytes (GB) of RAM and 4GB of VM.
Application used is ASP.Net.

Recently we faced "System.OutOfMemoryException" Error and
when I searched MS Knowledge Base I found an article
#820108. In the article it has been mentioned to turn on
the special feature 4GT RAM Tuning by adding the /3GB
switch to the Boot.ini file. I am curious to know if I
add the /3GB switch to the Boot.ini file will it affect
the server or the application, as 3GB of VM will be
allocated to the application and 1GB of VM will be left
for the kernel.

Please let me know the complications after adding the /3GB
switch to the Boot.ini file.

Thanks in Advance....
