  Quick question for the group. The 4 GB memory limit on the 32 bit server, is that for the entire server or per processor. Does that mean if you have a 2CPU app server with 8 GB of memory you are actually wasting the extra 4GB? The 4GB of extra memory will never be used?

  it can be used for buffer cache, but each process is limited to 4GB on a 32bit server
