Optimizing memory in a development environment

P

postings

Hi there

At home I'm running Windows XP Pro SP2 (inc IIS) with SQL Server 2005
and VS2005 installed.

I've just upgraded my machine to 4Gb of memory, which means I can now
use the /3GB flag in BOOT.INI.

May I have your advise please?

1) Is there any benefit compiling an ASP.NET app with the
/LARGEADDRESSAWARE flag (in my configuration)?

2) If I compile the using the /LARGEADDRESSAWARE flag and upload it to
my web hosting provider, do they need to accommodate me in some way for
this specific build? In which case maybe I shouldn't be using this
flag?

3) Any reason why I shouldn't use the /3GB flag?

4) Are there any tips in optimizing SQL Server 2005 for a development
environment, baring in mind that I don't have hundreds of users
connecting to it, it's solely for my development purposes.

5) Anybody out there have any any other memory tips for 4Gb RAM
configurations (like mine)?

Cheers

Alex

p.s. My advise - If anybody is running on 1Gb or less out there, do
yourself a favour, upgrade your memory. It makes a heck of a lot of
difference. It was something I delayed for a long time, and I regret I
didn't do it earlier. Memory is cheap nowadays so there really is no
excuse! Save up....
