Increased Memory <strong>for</strong> 32-<strong>bit</strong> Applications<br />

32-<strong>bit</strong> server, 4 GB DRAM<br />

• OS & App share small<br />

32-<strong>bit</strong> VM space<br />

• 32-<strong>bit</strong> OS & applications<br />

all share 4GB DRAM<br />

• Leads to small dataset<br />

sizes & lots of paging<br />

<strong>64</strong>-<strong>bit</strong> server, 12 GB DRAM<br />

• App has exclusive use of<br />

32-<strong>bit</strong> VM space<br />

• <strong>64</strong>-<strong>bit</strong> OS can allocate<br />

each application large<br />

dedicated portions<br />

of 12GB DRAM<br />

• OS uses VM space way<br />

above 32-<strong>bit</strong>s<br />

• Leads to larger dataset<br />

sizes & reduced paging<br />
