We are currently evaluating adding the /3gb switch to some of our servers to increase the available memeory for one of the running processes (that is compiled with the IMAGEFILELARGEADDRESSAWARE flag set) that is bumping off the 2gb limit.
However, what I am trying to understand is how the memory is split between the kernel and user processes on a server with > 4gb RAM. According to the doco, Windows will split the memory 2gb / 2gb between the kernel and user processes on a 4gb system. When you enable /3gb on a server, the memory is split 1gb / 3gb.
What I want to know is how is the memory split on a server with 6gb RAM and PAE enabled?? Does the kernel still get restricted to 1gb??
