   Hi,

   We are installing a new server running 2003 advanced server. It has
24gb or ram installed. It also 18x 134gb drives and 4x 34gb drives.

   We have spoken to MS who have no real idea how to setup a pagefile(s)
with a machine that has that amount of ram. They still recommend 1.5
times the amount of physical memory. Surely things have moved on from
that.

   If this still holds true we would have a pagefile of 36gb and as the
maximum page file limit is still 4gb we would have 9 pagefiles.

   Does anyone have any experience of setting up servers with that sort
of memory.

   Best wishes
   
   Michael
