hi
i have a similar issue.
my app server running on IIS 6 windows server 2003 R2. with 2 core 2 duo Extream CPUs and 10gb RAM. running windows on 32-bit but got /pae switch to extend the memory to 10gb.
in my web application i do com+ work (open word, merge documents on demand from the web site). when i do a load test, i.e. run about 50 separate word processes CPU gets very busy which is ok, but when it hits the memory 5.5gb/10gb i get 'System.OutOfMemoryException'
was thrown errors.
so why am i getting this error when there's almost 50% more memory available. IIS has an application pool with 4 worker threads.
can anyone help?
