Windows and UnixWare might > still only offer this memory via a special API for databases. As far as windows is concerned, all versions of windows 2000 have the AWE-API (Address Window Extensions). there are only 5 api calls and the use of this type of memory is very restrictive (windows, what did you expect...) much more so, than the hardware neccesitates. Even though the API is there on all versions, in order to use more than 4GB, you have to buy the Advanced Server. If you want to use more than 8GB, you need the Datacenter Version, which, as far as I know, you cannot purchase seperately.
