    Still 4gb memory issues with IIS6 is syswow 32 bit mode?

    Just a quick question.  With IIS 6 running in 32bit mode running on x64 Win 2003 server does the 4gb memory limit still apply?

    Re: Still 4gm memory issues with IIS6 is syswow 32 bit mode?

    Since 2^32 = 4GB is the maximum addressable space with 32-bit pointers, of course, this limit still applies.  And, it is per worker process.

    Thanks for the quick reply.

    So if i have a box with 8gb, with a few different worker processors they would be able to use this but each individual worker process would not be able to consume more than 4gb.
